Is my highest calling
To bow at Your feet
I'm in love with You, Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
Judikay's impactful single, "One For Me," released on November 18, 2022, as part of "The One for Me - Single" album, immediately establishes itself as a profound declaration of unwavering devotion. The song is not merely a composition; it is a spiritual testament, inviting its audience into a deeply personal and exclusive relationship with the Divine. From its opening strains, it articulates a longing that transcends ordinary desires, aiming straight for the heart of Christian faith.
At its core, "One For Me" is a passionate reaffirmation of Jesus Christ as the absolute center of a believer's existence. The lyrics pose rhetorical questions like, "What is life not lived for You / What is life not lived in You?", immediately setting the tone for a life consecrated entirely to God. This isn't just a casual acknowledgment but a deeply rooted conviction, echoing the sentiment found in Colossians 3:17, which encourages doing everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. The song portrays Jesus as the ultimate Bridegroom and Lover, a powerful biblical metaphor often used to describe God's intimate relationship with His people, as seen in passages like Revelation 19:7, where the church is described as the bride of Christ. This imagery speaks to an exclusive, covenantal love, where the human heart finds its singular devotion and ultimate satisfaction in Him alone, a sentiment beautifully captured by the repeated declaration, "This heart is all Yours."
The recurring affirmation, "You are the One for me," forms the anchor of the song, articulating a definitive choice and an unshakeable belief in Jesus as the sole source of fulfillment. This is further intensified by the plea, "You are the One I hunger for." This spiritual hunger is a profound yearning, distinct from physical needs, resonating with the psalmist's cry in Psalm 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." It's a recognition that true satisfaction cannot be found in worldly pursuits but only in an ever-deepening relationship with God, as Jesus Himself declared in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never go hungry." The song compels us to examine where our deepest longings truly lie, asserting that only God can truly satiate the soul's profound spiritual appetite.
Judikay then introduces the concept of spiritual stewardship with the line, "I'm just Your steward / Everything You give to me, I give it back." This reflects a fundamental principle of Christian faith, recognizing that all blessings, talents, and resources come from God and are to be managed for His glory, not for personal gain. This idea is pervasive throughout Scripture, from the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 to Peter's instruction in 1 Peter 4:10 to use gifts to serve others. Crucially, this stewardship extends beyond material possessions; it’s about aligning one's entire life with God's purposes. Even more compelling is the shift in desire: "It is Your heart I want oh / It is You I want to know." This moves beyond merely receiving from God to desiring God Himself, a pursuit echoed in Jeremiah 9:23-24, where boasting is not in wisdom or strength, but in knowing the Lord. It signifies a profound spiritual maturity, prioritizing intimacy with the Creator over His creations or even His blessings, echoing Paul's relentless pursuit to "know Christ" in Philippians 3:10.
The repeated emphasis on "Intimacy with you / Koinonia with you" underscores the paramount importance of communion with God. "Koinonia," a rich Greek word, signifies deep fellowship, partnership, and shared life. It’s more than just a fleeting encounter; it speaks of a profound, ongoing relationship where believers share in Christ's life and mission, as described in 1 John 1:3. The declaration, "No one else will do / Nothing else will do," powerfully communicates that this divine fellowship is utterly irreplaceable and exclusive. It's an affirmation that no earthly relationship or worldly achievement can stand in comparison to the soul-satisfying presence and partnership with God, reinforcing the truth that God alone is our sufficient portion, as Psalm 73:25-26 articulates: "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you."
The song builds to a crescendo of unreserved adoration, proclaiming, "I am unashamedly in love with You / Unapologetically in love with You." This bold declaration is a powerful counter-cultural statement in a world that often shies away from overt expressions of faith. It embodies the courage of Romans 1:16, where Paul declares he is "not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation." This love is not timid; it's vibrant and public. The lyrics further identify the source of life's deepest meaning: "You are the One my soul longs for / You are the One my heart truly beats for." This profound longing culminates in the ultimate posture of humility and worship: "to bow at Your feet / Is my highest calling." This act of surrender, bowing before God, is presented not as submission to a tyrant, but as the most elevated and fulfilling purpose of existence. It echoes the heavenly worship described in Revelation 4:10-11, where elders cast their crowns before the throne, acknowledging God's worthiness above all. This song powerfully inspires a renewed commitment to personal worship, reminding us that our greatest honor and joy is found in adoring the One who gave everything for us.
