You are the one that I need
The song I sing
The air I breathe
Just can't explain the things You do
Nobody else compares to You
There's no other help that I know
No other place that I could go
You are my strength when I get weak
Father, Your face is all I see
All I see
It's all I see
Just when I feel I'm all alone
When I feel my strength is gone
That's when You come and rescue me
Mining me back to set me free
There's nobody else that can compare
Never alone, You're always there
Goodness and mercy follow me
Father, Your face is all I see
All consuming fire
My heart's desire
Your face is all I see
You are the one I need
All consuming fire
My heart's desire
Your face is all I see
You are the one
All consuming fire
My heart's desire
Your face is all I see
You are the one I need
All consuming fire
My heart's desire
Your face is all I see
You are the one I need...
Say King Jesus (King Jesus)
My Saviour (my Saviour)
Forever (forever)
And ever (and ever)
You are the one I need
You're the one that I need, oh (You are the one I need)
King Jesus (King Jesus)
My Saviour (my Saviour)
Forever (forever)
And ever (and ever)
You are the one I need...
Oh, I need You, Lord
To come to my rescue
Come to my rescue
Oh, where else, where else, where else can I go
I need You
You're my safety, Lord
My hiding place
You're my hiding place
Oh, I need You...
I can't breathe, can't breathe without You, Lord...
"You Are The One" by William McDowell is a powerful worship song that resonates with believers around the world. The song is featured on McDowell's album titled "Withholding Nothing" and has become a favorite in many churches and gatherings.
The song opens with the lyrics, "You are the one that I need, the song I sing, the air I breathe." These words beautifully express the deep longing and dependence we have on God. It acknowledges that He is the source of our strength and the reason for our existence. This theme of complete reliance on God is found throughout the song and is a common thread in McDowell's music.
One of the scripture verses that come to mind when listening to this song is Psalm 121:1-2, which says, "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." This verse echoes the sentiment expressed in the song that there is no other help that compares to God. He is the one we can turn to in times of need and He is always there to rescue us.
Another scripture that relates to the theme of the song is Isaiah 41:10, which says, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." This verse reminds us that God is our strength when we feel weak. He is the one who can lift us up and carry us through difficult times.
The lyrics of "You Are The One" continue to emphasize God's presence and faithfulness. It says, "Just when I feel I'm all alone, when I feel my strength is gone, that's when You come and rescue me." These words beautifully capture the truth that God never leaves us nor forsakes us. Even in the darkest moments of our lives, He is there to rescue and restore us.
As we listen to this song, we are reminded of God's goodness and mercy that follows us. It echoes the words of Psalm 23:6, which says, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." This verse assures us that as we trust in God and seek His face, His goodness and mercy will be with us always.
The song also includes a powerful bridge that declares, "All consuming fire, my heart's desire, Your face is all I see." This bridge echoes the desire to know God intimately and to have Him as our heart's desire. It draws inspiration from scriptures like Psalm 27:8, which says, "You have said, 'Seek my face.' My heart says to you, 'Your face, Lord, do I seek.'" It encourages us to seek after God with all our hearts and to make Him the center of our lives.
In conclusion, "You Are The One" by William McDowell is a beautiful worship song that reminds us of our complete dependence on God. It draws inspiration from scriptures that speak of God's faithfulness, His strength, and His desire for us to seek Him. Through its powerful lyrics and heartfelt melodies, the song encourages believers to trust in God and to find their ultimate satisfaction and purpose in Him alone.
