Only One

Paul Lisney

This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.

      Only One

The Lord gives, the devil takes
One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse
One reigns in heaven, one prowls the earth

The Lord is Truth, the devil lies
One is seen, one disguised
One saves while one destroys
One found in quiet, the other, noise

One is vain and full of pride
He feeds on pain, invades the mind
The other, meek, He waits outside
Knocks on the door to come inside

Hey now, we are free to choose
Hey now, we are free to choose

One enslaves, never frees
Confuses, tricks and deceives
Lays traps and snares to bring you down
In darkness hides, shamelessly proud

And only one can bring us life
He bore our sins, was crucified
Beneath His feet, the devil lies
The victory won before his eyes

Hey now, we are free to choose
Hey now, we are free to choose

The True Light points the way
Forgive or risk being saved
Divine Mercy there when we fall
For all are guilty and all are called

And only one can bring us life
He bore our sins, was crucified
Beneath His feet, the devil lies
The victory won before his eyes
And only one can bring us life
Only One

Hey now, Hey now
Hey now, we are free to choose

One gives, one takes
One is love, one hate
One is Truth; one, lies
One is seen, one hides
One is meek; one, proud
One quiet; one, loud
One is dark, one is light
One, wrong; one, right
One, dark; one, light
One, death; one, life
