Lyrics
Verse 1
Life, it don’t get easy
But it’s better when you’re with me
Tried to put my faith in people
But there really ain’t no equal
Verse 2
Never met someone that don’t change
The same monday up to sunday
Even at a young age
You been holding me the whole
Let me sit back ‘cause it’s your show
But imma sit up on the front row
Don’t gotta tell you, you already know
Yeah, it’s you alone
Chorus
Only you can do the things you do
Create the sun and the moon
And hold it all down you always prove that
Only you can do the things you do
You breathe life and made me new
My worst days you bring me through
Only you
Verse 3
Sometimes I wonder do you hear me
Yeah, you know how my fears be
But that don’t change your love, though
You keep on giving me the cheat codes
Verse 4
Never met someone that stay true
In the clouds or the clear blue
Don’t nobody ever compare
I swear it’s like you playing solitaire
It’s like the demons they won’t let me go
Pain from this world can’t keep my head afloat
Don’t gotta tell you, you already know
And you in control

Meaning & Inspiration
Only You is a song of trust that names God as the one who stays true when people change. The first verse says life does not get easy, but it is better with God, that putting faith in people brought disappointment since no one is equal to Him, and that He has held the singer since a young age. The chorus says only He can do what He does: create the sun and the moon, hold everything down, breathe life and make the singer new, and carry through the worst days.
The second verse admits wondering if He hears, says He knows the fears and keeps giving help, and the last verse says He stays true in cloud or clear sky and is in control while demons and pain try to drag the singer down. The themes fit Psalm 118:8, Genesis 1:16, Psalm 139:13-14 and Psalm 46:1. Conversational and modern in tone, the song keeps its attention on God's reliability.
