One And Only
by Jess Ray

Album: Parallels - Meridians

Oh what misery
Living as a slave to things
In a cave with all your dreams
So afraid that you will lose your darlings
It s exhausting
You don t know what it has cost me
Is the mantra you re repeating
As you hold so tight
That your hands are bleeding

So what is this?
You think it s life but it isn t
The promise isn t in the gift
But in the one
Who can hold it with a loose grip
Honey, you have a choice
Did you hear the Father s voice
Saying everything I have is yours
He left you with an open door

Chorus
To him who will not withhold his one and only
His blessing is more than the sand on the shore and the stars in the galaxy

Oh what a mystery
The secret of living
Is learning to lay down and die
Just to wake up in the morning
With your heart clean
Free from the misery
From fearing for your safety
And from the tyranny of things
