The Only One

The sisters told us when we were in school,
that Christ would die if there were only one,
and if that one were only me the fool,
that God for me would send His only Son.
What is my value that I'm worthy of
God leaving heaven to come down to earth,
and suffering and dying for the love
of one who is not worthy of his worth?
O God, this is a mystery but true,
that one so small can drain divinity,
if I could be the only one for You,
then You should be the only One for me.
I know, O Christ, Your love for me is endless,
if there's just me, I cannot leave You friendless.
