There Is Only One

A song by Mariah Hlatywayo

There is a brilliance the darkness cannot swallow 

There is a joy, a hope that never dies 

There is a Son, a Servant and a Saviour

There is only One, and His Name is Jesus Christ 

I looked to the world, but it’s pleasures ran me dry 

With no-one to hold me as it rained all through the night 

From the depths of my soul, 

I yearned for I was hungry 

Until I tasted Jesus, the Holy Bread of life 

There is a friend more loyal than a brother 

His yoke is easy, and He makes my burden light 

Speechless in awe

I gaze at Him and wonder

A lamb led to slaughter 

For me, why did He die?

I peered into the abyss 

But it was more than I could fathom 

And so I cried with my hands lifted high 

From the depths of my soul 

I reached for I was searching

Until I found the answer, the Way, the Truth and Life
