Intro
Verse 1
I tasted the world,
seen more than enough
Its promises fleeting
Of water and wine,
I emptied the cup
And found myself wanting
But there is a well
that never runs dry
The water of life,
the blood of the vine
seen more than enough
Its promises fleeting
Of water and wine,
I emptied the cup
And found myself wanting
But there is a well
that never runs dry
The water of life,
the blood of the vine
Chorus
All I know is
Everything I have means nothing
Jesus if you're not my one thing
Everything I need right now
(All I need is You right now)
Everything I have means nothing
Jesus if you're not my one thing
Everything I need right now
(All I need is You right now)
Verse 2
Just one thing I ask
and this I will seek
If only to know You
To be where You are
and go where You lead
My God, I will follow
The things of this world
I've counted as loss
I lay it all down
to take up this cross
and this I will seek
If only to know You
To be where You are
and go where You lead
My God, I will follow
The things of this world
I've counted as loss
I lay it all down
to take up this cross
Bridge
And I'll sing
Wo - ah
Wo - ah
I want nothing but to know You
And to be with You, my God
And I'll sing
Wo - ah
Wo - ah
And with everything within me
I will worship You, my God
Wo - ah
Wo - ah
I want nothing but to know You
And to be with You, my God
And I'll sing
Wo - ah
Wo - ah
And with everything within me
I will worship You, my God

One Thing - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song “One Thing” by Hillsong Worship is a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking God first in our lives. The lyrics speak of the emptiness of the world’s promises and the longing for something more. The chorus reminds us that everything we have means nothing if Jesus is not our one thing.
The Bible speaks of this same truth in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” This verse reminds us that when we seek God first, He will provide for all our needs.
The second verse of the song speaks of the desire to know God and to follow Him wherever He leads. This is echoed in Psalm 27:4, “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” This verse reminds us that our ultimate goal should be to seek God and to be in His presence.
The bridge of the song speaks of the desire to know God and to be with Him. This is echoed in Psalm 63:1-2, “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.” This verse reminds us of the importance of seeking God and being in His presence.
The song “One Thing” is a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking God first in our lives. When we seek Him, He will provide for all our needs and we will be able to experience His presence. Let us remember to seek God first and to worship Him with everything within us.
