Everybody I know says they need just the one thing; what they really mean is they need just the one thing more ,
And everybody seems to think they've got it coming,
Well, I know that I don't deserve you, still I want to love and serve you more and more,
You're my one thing.

Save me from those things that might distract me; please take them away and purify my heart,
I don't want to lose the eternal for the things that are passing, 'cause what will I have when the world is gone if it isn't for the love that goes on and on'

With my one thing,
You're my one thing,
And the pure in heart shall see God,
You're my one thing,
You're my one thing,
And the pure in heart shall see God.

Who have I in Heaven but you, Jesus'
What better could I hope to find down here on Earth'
I could cross the most distant reaches of this world, but I'd just be wasting my time, 'cause I'm certain already,
I'm sure I'd find...

You're my one thing, (one thing)
You're my one thing, (one thing)
And the pure in heart shall see God,
You're my one thing, (one thing)
You're my one thing, (one thing)
The pure in heart shall see God.

And every night and every day you hold on tight or you drift away,
And you're left to live with the choices you make,
Oh Lord, please give me the strength to watch and work, and love, and sing, and pray.

'Cause who have I in Heaven but you, Jesus'
What better could I hope to find down here on Earth'
Oh, I could cross the most distant reaches of this world, but I'd just be wasting my time, 'cause I'm certain already,
I'm sure I'd find...

You're my one thing, (one thing)
You're my one thing, (one thing)
And the pure in heart shall see God,
You're my one thing, (one thing)
You're my one thing, (one thing)
And the pure in heart shall see God,
You're my one thing.


One thing,
You're my one thing,
Pure in heart, pure in heart,
One thing.

Oh Lord, you're my... (one thing, on thing)

And I know that the pure...that the pure in heart, (and the pure in heart shall see God)
And I know that the pure in heart shall sure see God,
And I know that the pure...that the pure in heart (and the pure in heart shall see God)
And I know that the pure in heart shall sure see God,
And I know that the pure...that the pure in heart (and the pure in heart shall see God)
And I know that the pure in heart shall sure see God,
And I know that the pure...that the pure in heart (and the pure in heart shall see God)
And I know that the pure in heart shall sure see God,
