Lyrics
Chorus
You are the one and only God
No one compares to who You are
You're the first and You're the last
You know the future from the past
You're the Maker and Redeemer
Of our hearts
You are the one and only God
Verse 1
You hold the nations In Your hands
Kingdoms rise at Your command
To bring You praise
No power on earth can move Your throne
And You desire to be known
As Lord of all the earth
You are Lord of all the earth
Verse 2
Throughout the universe You've made
Your glory is displayed for all to see
But You have called us by Your name
So with the heavens we'd proclaim
Till all the world can hear
Until all the world can hear

Meaning & Inspiration
The One and Only God is a congregational worship song that declares the uniqueness and rule of God. The chorus states that there is no one who compares, that He is the first and the last, that He knows the future from the past, and that He is Maker and Redeemer of hearts. The first verse says He holds the nations in His hands, that kingdoms rise at His command, that no power on earth can move His throne, and that He desires to be known as Lord of all the earth.
The second verse says that His glory is displayed in all that He has made, that He has called His people by name, and that they join the heavens in proclaiming Him until all of the world can hear. The themes follow Isaiah 44:6, Daniel 2:21 and Psalm 19:1. The broad, anthem-like chorus and global focus give the song a strong, confident tone suited to corporate singing.
