Lyrics
One little baby, given from glory
Wrapped in humanity
One man will call to the heart of the common
For there God's kingdom shall be
One rock the builders rejected
Now ranks as the cornerstone
Since time began, not a footprint of man
Ever left a mark like one
One lonely figure awakes from His slumber
To quiet a daily storm
One at the well waits with life-giving water
For a thirsty woman would come
One heart full of compassion
Whose touch caused the lame to run
The force as a thousand armies come marching
Shall never contest the one
Jesus
Jesus
Every knee shall bend in reverence
His name ring out from every tongue
Every eye shall witness His wonder
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the one
One who will govern the plan of salvation
Will shoulder His cross up a hill
One voice alone that could order the angels
Is silent by His own will
One king suffered and gave His life
The power of death brought down
One life will challenge the limits of nature
And rise with a victors crown
Jesus
Jesus
Every knee shall bend in reverence
His name ring out from every tongue
Every eye shall witness His wonder
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the one
Jesus (Jesus the one, Jesus the one)
Jesus (Jesus the one, Jesus the one)
Every knee shall bend in reverence
His name ring out from every tongue
Every eye shall witness His wonder
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the one
The one
Jesus the one

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus, The One traces the identity and work of Christ through scenes drawn from the Gospel story. The child from glory enters humanity, the rejected stone becomes the cornerstone, and the teacher beside the well offers living water. His compassion appears in healing, His authority in calming a storm, and His uniqueness in the claim that no human life has left a comparable mark. Each image contributes to a portrait of Jesus as Savior, King, and Lord.
The song then moves toward the cross and resurrection. Christ willingly carries the burden of salvation, remains silent rather than summoning angels, gives His life, defeats death, and rises in victory. The recurring chorus answers these scenes with reverence: every knee bends, every tongue speaks His name, and every eye beholds His wonder. That language closely echoes the New Testament confession of the universal lordship of Jesus. The repeated title gathers the whole lyric into one declaration that Christ alone stands at the center of salvation and worship.
