We have been slowly expanding our songbook every two to three weeks. Last week we learned a song from Young Oceans called “Only You.” It is a great song that invites us to contemplate how awesome God is, as well as His unwavering faithfulness and goodness. I really appreciate how the lyrics describe our human experience in light of who God is and His sovereignty over His creation. I’d encourage you to check it out! (www.youngoceans.com/music)
Only You
CHORUS 2
Only You have set the earth on its foundation
Only You give orders to the dawn
Only You can know the depths of every ocean
Only You deserve our song
Only You have torn the cover off the darkness
You expose the evils of the night
Only You reveal Your glory to the humble
Only You are clothed in light
TAG: Only You, Only You (repeat)
VERSE 4
Here I am in the valley of decision
I know You hear me when I call
I repent of my prideful disposition
Where was I when the stars sang out?
VERSE 1
You have known my every situation
And Your goodness sustains me Lord
I will bow in humble expectation
Of Your presence in the storm
VERSE 2
Yes there will be trial and tribulation
And You’ll grant me breath to persevere
May my heart beat in pure anticipation
Of the day when You’ll dry these tears
CHORUS 1
Only You have set the earth on its foundation
Only You give orders to the dawn
Only You can know the depths of every ocean
Only You deserve our song
VERSE 3
Lord You are the thunder to my whisper
Yes Your greatness knows no bounds
All these things too wonderful to speak of
Fill my soul with a heavenly sound
