Lyrics
Verse 1
I have one passion, one great delight
One center of my life
To glorify Him who bears the scars of grace
And to walk worthy of His name
For all my days
Chorus
With all my heart and soul and strength
In every word and thought and deed
I'll live for Him who died for me
To please the Audience of One
How can I not pledge all my love
In light of all that He has done?
There is one glory that I seek
To please the Audience of One
Verse 2
Let me seek one prize, one great reward
One hope I treasure most
To hear the Father say, "My child, well done
Come enter into all the joy
Found in my Son"

Meaning & Inspiration
The Audience Of One is a song of devotion about living to please God alone. The first verse says the singer has one passion and delight, the center of life, to glorify the One who bears the scars of grace and walk worthy of His name. The chorus pledges to love with all heart, soul and strength and to live for the One who died, because the one glory sought is to please the Audience of One.
The second verse hopes for one prize, to hear the Father say well done and enter the joy found in the Son. The themes follow Colossians 3:23-24 on working for the Lord, Matthew 22:37 on loving with all heart, Matthew 25:21 on well done, Galatians 1:10 on pleasing God rather than people, and 2 Corinthians 5:9. Focused and personal, the song is a prayer of single-minded devotion.
