694. One thing I know

Author: Michael Perry 1942-96

One thing I know,
that Christ has healed me-
though I was blind,
yet now I see;
to him I owe,
whose love has sealed me,
my heart and mind
at last set free.

2. One thing I pray-
that in my weakness,
God’s perfect might
will make me strong;
learning Christ’s way
whose selfless meekness
is my delight,
my peace, my song.

3. One thing I do-
put sin behind me,
press for the goal
to win the prize;
for Christ I go
who came to find me,
making me whole
to gain the skies.

4. One faith, one Lord,
one new creation,
one hope
of our eternity!
One holy God!
To our salvation,
glory and power
for ever be!
