One by Phil Stacey

On August 29th, Carol and I had the pleasure of attending a CD release party for Phil Stacey’s album (old school wording) Into the Light. It was a wonderful evening and this album has become my favorite listen. It is full of great tunes with uplifting lyrics, but the song which has become the anthem of my life in Christ is ‘One.’
What is the one blessing, one prayer, one hug, one phone call, one e-mail, one $, the Lord wants me to give today, this hour, this minute?

You can hear it on youtube at this link.

One by Phil Stacey/Cindy Morgan/Jeremy Bose

One simple man
One simple plan
Not a blaze, just a spark
No certainties
No guarantees
Just taking steps in the dark
Not for fame or the glory
For the words that add up to the story

One drop in the ocean
One prayer from your heart
One mercy
One struggle
One cup of cold water
One dollar
One promise
Even though it seems small
Sometimes one is the biggest thing of all

Too many words
Too many hurts
‘Til you can’t hear your heart
Too many ways to make mistakes
That you don’t even start
But you can’t change the world
With your one chance to live
Until one day you wake up
Knowing all you must give is
One word
One life
One truth that will shine like the sun
Shine a light on your path
‘Cause the road leads back to . . .

One drop in the ocean
One prayer from your heart
One mercy
One struggle
One cup of cold water
One dollar
One promise
Even though it seems small
Sometimes one is the biggest thing of all
