about

This is most likely a new song for you, but an old song for me. It was written upon return from a 4 month musicianary tour of West Africa with Youth Encounter's CrossFire Team in 1994. I'll confess it is still fresh and new for me to sing and share.

lyrics

“One Thing”
If you go across the seas to make disciples and you succeed,
Keep in mind the words that Jesus speaks to you and me:
That there’s only one thing, one thing needed to be free
There’s only one thing: Jesus.

If you stay within these borders and never say a word,
But if you listened in your lifetime, remember what you’ve heard,
That there’s only one thing, one thing needed to be free
There’s only one thing: Jesus.

There are fads that come and go.
When they fail, you need to know.

If the rock you built your house on crumbles to the sea,
Keep in mind the words that Jesus speaks to you and me,
That there’s only one thing, one thing needed to be free
There’s only one thing: Jesus.

Everything will come and go.
In the end you need to know….

If you go across the seas to make disciples and you succeed,
Or if you spend your life in silence living as you need, remember
There’s only one thing, one thing needed to be free
There’s only one thing: Jesus.
