One - Chris Sligh

Holding onto our beliefs

Like a child holds to its father

It's like we're trying so hard to breathe

With our heads underneath the water



Keep trying to find the balance

Of our love and our convictions
'
Cause we know that life in You

Moves far beyond religion



We know, we know, we know, we know

That nothing else even matters but love



Whoa, we keep trying to find a way

Whoa, to come together

Whoa, Lord, take these fears away

Whoa



And make us one, one, one, whoa

Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one



We are the face of Christ

In a world of shadows

Is it God's love we're fighting for

Or our denomination's ego?



We got to let go of pride

Embrace the idea of difference

Make unity our calling

And move within forgiveness



We know, we know, we know, we know

That nothing else even matters but love



Whoa, we keep trying to find a way

Whoa, to come together

Whoa, Lord, take these fears away

Whoa



And make us one, one, one, whoa

Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one



Imagine what could be, imagine what could change

If love was all that really mattered

Would the light of Christ finally shine through

Me and you?



Holding onto our beliefs

Like a child holds to its father

It's like we're trying so hard to breathe

With our heads underneath the water



Whoa, we keep trying to find a way

Whoa, to come together

Whoa, Lord, take these fears away

Whoa, oh yeah



And make us one, one, one, whoa

Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh

Make us one, one, one, whoa

Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh



Make us one, one, one, whoa

Make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh

Make us one, one, one, whoa

Make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
