Lyrics
He's not the five
He's not the four
He's not the three
He's not the two
He's not the five
He's not the four
He's not the three
He's not the two
The one
We don't leave the church 'til the energy is do
Say they wanna have a good time. Tell 'em, "Come."
People shouting up and down the aisle
Watch 'em run
He is not the "or" of the "and"
He is the one
Every opportunity to serve Him
Here I come
Praising His name from the moon to the sun
Can't nobody do it like Him. There is none
'Cause he is not the "or" of the "and"
He is the one
He the one
He the one
He the one

Meaning & Inspiration
Voices of Fire’s “THE ONE” is a direct celebration of God’s uniqueness and unmatched worth. Its counting refrain removes every rival until only “the one” remains, while the verses describe energetic church praise and readiness to serve. The lyric’s wordplay around “or” and “and” reinforces the same confession: God is not one option among several, and no other can do what he does.
This declaration closely aligns with Deuteronomy 6:4, which confesses that the Lord is one. It also recalls Isaiah 45:5, where the Lord declares that there is no God besides him. The movement from confession to service is significant within the song: recognizing God as incomparable leads to praise expressed openly and service embraced whenever an opportunity appears. References to shouting, running, and praising from moon to sun give that devotion a communal, joyful character. The result is a concise gospel praise song built around exclusive allegiance to God and grateful participation in the life of the church.
