Rich Mullins - My One Thing lyrics

"Everybody I know says they need just one thing And what they really mean is that they need just 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 pa**ing '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 And 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) And the pure in heart shall see God 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 And what better could I hope to find down here on earth Well 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 The pure in heart the pure in heart One thing And I know that the pure That the pure in heart (that the pure in heart shall see God) And I know that the pure in heart shall see God And I know that the pure That the pure in heart (that the pure in heart shall see God) And I know that the pure in heart shall see God And I know that the pure That the pure in heart (that the pure in heart shall see God) And I know that the pure in heart shall see God That the pure in heart (that the pure in heart shall see God) And I know that the pure in heart shall see God"
