Lyrics

One Real Thing

[Verse 1]

Speak, and my heart starts aching

Reach, and the numbness dims

Beat, still my minds uncertain

Breathe, it begins again

[Chorus]

You are the one real thing, yeah

You are the one true thing that I know

You are the one real thing

No matter what the future brings

You're the one real thing

[Verse 2]

Stay, locked within Your presence

Truth, renew in my mind again

Rest, 'cause I know You're faithful and I

Trust, 'cause I know Your name

[Chorus]

You are the one real thing, yeah

You are the one true thing that I know

You are the one real thing

No matter what the future brings

You're the one real thing

[Bridge]

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me

[Verse 1]

Speak, and my heart starts aching

Reach, and the numbness dims

Beat, still my minds uncertain

Breathe, it begins again, again again

[Chorus]

You are the one real thing, yeah

You are the one true thing that I know

You are the one real thing, (you, oh, oh) yeah

You are the one true thing that I know (that I know)

You are the one real thing

No matter what the future brings

You're the one real thing

[Outro]

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me (one real thing)

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me (one real thing)

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me (one real thing)

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me (one real thing)

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me (one real thing)

I get down on my knees and I

Feel Your love wash over me (one real thing)
