God One and Only

Location: Annie Auntie's house, watching Bones!
Mood: Hungry for the pizza I just made!
Music: Faith+Hope+Love- Hillsong Live- God One and Only

Yes, I told you so. I've become obsessed. The last three posts have been all about Hillsong Live's new CD. It's awesome though, but I must admit; I am surprised at the fact that this hasn't become my absolute favourite- the best will remain and has for a while: "All Of The Above" and of course, OF COURSE, "A_Cross//the_EARTH" simply because "You hold me now" and "Tear down the walls" are just too good. However, "Solution" has and will remain the song that I relate most to and can understand best; so it's "All of The Above".

Anyways.

To the point. This CD is amazing. I am a bit surprised at the lack of "Take It All"-like songs but that was because I've been listening to songs like "It's Your Love" and "I Will Exalt You". However, my opinion was changed when I heard "God One and Only" I was just sitting at home listening to it and by the end of it, I like jumped up and down and "YEA!" The hook for me was the chorus, the lyrics are something that a child would think up; and again, like "I will Exalt You", it was catching to my heart. Anyways, here are the lyrics (Chorus is bold)

In a world that’s lost and seeking
You’re the answer to every need I know
It’s You alone

I find a hope for all my life
I’m living as a sacrifice for You
In freedom and in truth

Always I know You are here and You live in me
In my life You’re the only one I need.
Jesus I believe

You’re the one who saved my soul
You gave me life so I give it back to You
My God God one and only!!!

Now I stand in Your salvation
I keep the faith and I fix my life on You
My hope is found in You.

You chose the cross and You took my place
And I believe it
This is love that I can’t explain
Yes I believe it

God one and only God one and only God one and only!!!

Truly amazing when I think about. Youtube it! It reminds me of "More than Anything"...

So now it is time to eat my pizza... so I will talk to you later... and I really need to write my story ASAP! I promise to update till then Tchüss!

I Will Exalt You

Location: Still in Kilchberg, right at home
Mood: Happy and peaceful
Music: Faith+Hope+Love- Hillsong Live- I Will Exalt You

And like I promised, another review for Hillsong Live's Faith+Hope+Love... for Brooke Fraser-Ligertwood's "I Will Exalt You". Here are the lyrics:

I will exalt You
I will exalt You
I will exalt You
You are my God

My hiding place
My safe refuge
My treasure, Lord, You are
My friend and King
Anointed One
Most holy

Because You're with me
Because You're with me
Because You're with me
I will not fear

It is a very simple song. But the point is simple. It's like "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" Because the Lord is with me, he is my hiding place and I have nothing to worry about. It's so simple and it reminds of something a child would sing.

The repetition is what I love. I will exalt you, I will, I will- because YOU ARE MY GOD! Because you're with me, I WILL NOT FEAR!
