God's the One

You really are, O God, the only One,
the Maker of the universe--and me,
the One Who’s left when all is said and done,
Creator, Father, Lord and destiny.

You are the loving leader of us all,
when I fall down, it’s You Who lifts me up,
You are the One Who hears me when I call,
and in my need, You overflow my cup.

This life You give is my one chance and test,
a blink between two vast eternities,
Your love for me’s more real than all the rest,
my love for You can force me to my knees.

When I, unworthy, look to my reward,
You really are the only One, O Lord.
