“One Desire” Lyrics

Here I am
Just for You, only You
Here I stand
Wanting You, only You

In Your presence Lord
I will find my strength
You’re the breath in me
You’re my everything

With my heart bowed low
And my hands held high
All consuming fire
You’re my one desire

“Let It Go” is a beautiful and moving song from Mandy Gawley‘s debut album, “Life So Sweet” that inspires us to let go of the hardships in life that we can’t control and to place them in God’s hands:

I can see the weight on your shoulders
I can tell how much pain you feel
And it’s tempting your heart to turn colder
But believe me, in time it can heal

Just keep movin’ on ‘cause the past is gone
And what’s done is done

Let it go, lay it down
Oh there’s no use carryin’
The burden around
Don’t you know?
It’s okay to let it go…

- From the song “Let it Go”

“When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You, above the storm. Father, You are King over the flood; I will be still and know You are God…” – Lyrics from Still

This is what I would call Hillsong “back-in-the-day.” I remember singing this song in Creole at a Haitian church I used to attend in Miami and never realized that the song was originally by Hillsong until I saw a video on TV a few weeks ago. The words still inspire and comfort whatever language they are in. Below is another version of the song from a young Brazilian singer Jotta A., who has been amazing so many online with his moving and sincere voice (click here to be inspired by Jotta’s cover of the song “Angus Dei” in English):

Lyrics from Still

Hide me now, under your wings
Cover me, within Your mighty hands

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You, above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Find rest my soul, in Christ alone
Know His power, in quietness and trust

From the Hillsong Live Album “Hope”

“I believe the most necessary thing in order to share God’s love, is to first truly receive God’s love… to spend time in His presence where He can remind us of who we are and how He sees us.
