Passion - No One But You Lyrics
Lyrics
Who can melt the hardest heart
And speak life into my soul
Who can spin the world around
And hold me ever close
Who can search the depths of me
And love me to the core
Who controls the world I see
And walks me through it all
No one but You
No one but You
Who has made the righteous bright
Who has paved my way with grace
Loved me through my darkest hours
A thousand different ways
I’ll sing of Your love
I can’t get enough
I just want You
The Lord of my soul
King of my heart
Jesus it’s You
Hear the oceans roar
See the skies light up
Every heart now
Sing to the Lord
Hear the rocks cry out
See the mountains bow
Every heart come worship the Lord
No one no one
No one no one
No one, Lord, but You

Passion - No One But You (Live From Passion 2020) ft. Sean Curran, Melodie Malone
Meaning & Inspiration
Passion's "No One But You," featuring the compelling voices of Sean Curran and Melodie Malone, emerged from the vibrant energy of Passion 2020, releasing on March 23, 2020. This song transcends a simple musical offering, serving as a profound theological declaration set to melody. It delves deep into the exclusivity of God's nature, articulating a truth that resonates with anyone seeking ultimate meaning and purpose. The narrative woven through its verses begins with deeply personal reflections on God's unmatched ability to impact a human heart, steadily building to a crescendo of universal worship.
The song immediately establishes God as the sole source of profound spiritual change, posing rhetorical questions about who possesses such power. It speaks to a divine capacity to "melt the hardest heart and speak life into my soul," a powerful image that evokes the transformative work described in Ezekiel 36:26, where God promises a new heart of flesh in place of stone. This transformative power is coupled with God's overarching control and intimate presence, the one who can "spin the world around and hold me ever close." This dual depiction highlights both God's cosmic sovereignty, as referenced in Colossians 1:17 where all things are held together in Him, and His personal closeness, echoing the comfort found in Psalm 139:7-10, where no place is beyond His reach.
The lyrics continue to explore this unique intimacy, recognizing God as the only one who can "search the depths of me and love me to the core." This speaks to God’s omniscience and unconditional love, a knowing that penetrates beyond outward appearances, as articulated in Psalm 139:1-4 where God fully comprehends our thoughts and paths. This profound understanding is inseparable from a love that perseveres through our imperfections, reflecting Romans 5:8, which assures us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Moreover, the song acknowledges God's unwavering guidance, the one who "controls the world I see and walks me through it all," mirroring the trust called for in Proverbs 3:5-6, where leaning on Him leads to directed paths, and the comforting presence of God walking with us through life’s valleys, as in Psalm 23:4.
The recurring refrain, "No one but You," serves as the anchor of the entire composition, a powerful, unequivocal statement of God's unrivaled position. This declaration aligns directly with foundational biblical truths, such as Isaiah 45:5-6, where God asserts, "I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no God." It’s a bold affirmation that in all the vastness of existence, in all the challenges and triumphs, only God possesses these attributes and the capacity to fulfill these roles. This truth isn't just a theological point; it's the very foundation of faith and worship, channeling all adoration and reliance to Him alone.
The song further unpacks God's relentless grace and faithfulness, asking who "has made the righteous bright" and "paved my way with grace." This reflects the profound work of salvation and sanctification, where believers are made righteous through Christ and called to shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:15), all by God's unmerited favor, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9. It also celebrates God's steadfast love through adversity: "Loved me through my darkest hours, a thousand different ways." This testament to God's enduring care, a love that never fails, resonates with the constant mercies described in Lamentations 3:22-23 and the unwavering comfort promised in times of trouble.
As the song progresses, it shifts from questioning to a deeply personal and collective response of devotion. The lines, "I’ll sing of Your love, I can’t get enough, I just want You," express a profound yearning and an insatiable desire for God's presence, echoing the psalmist's thirst for God like a deer for water (Psalm 42:1). This leads to a direct naming of Jesus as "The Lord of my soul, King of my heart," affirming His supreme authority and rightful place in the believer's life, aligning with the declaration of Him as King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14).
The final section of the song expands the scope of worship from the individual to the entirety of creation, illustrating God’s glory through universal phenomena. "Hear the oceans roar, see the skies light up" and "Hear the rocks cry out, see the mountains bow" paint a vivid picture of the natural world in spontaneous worship. This imagery draws directly from Scripture, where the heavens declare God's glory (Psalm 19:1) and creation itself is called to exult before the Lord (Psalm 96:11-12). The powerful reminder that even if humanity were silent, the stones would cry out (Luke 19:40) underscores the inescapable truth of God's magnificent presence. The song culminates in a resonant, repeated affirmation: "No one, Lord, but You," a final, all-encompassing declaration that God stands alone in His majesty, power, and worthiness of all praise. This anthem is a potent reminder for every heart to yield in worship to the One who is truly unmatched.
