One And The Same
CeCe Winans' song "One And The Same" reflects on the mystery of Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man. The lyrics marvel at how the holy God of Heaven and the humble man who bore our shame are one and the same. Winans explores the paradoxes of faith, such as the servant who is the Great I Am, the Shepherd and the Lamb, and the healer who was wounded. The song emphasizes the unity of Christ's divine and human natures, pointing to the truth that sets us free and the love revealed through His death and resurrection.
How shall I begin to speak about a God
That I will never comprehend?
So high and mighty and yet, closer than a friend
The beginning and the end
The mystery of His holiness
The wonder of His humanness are one
One and the same
I can't do Him justice with any one name
The holy God of Heaven and the humble man who bore my shame
Are one, one and the same
I scarcely understand how a simple servant
Can be called the great I am
How the Son of God is still the Son of man
Both the Shepard and the Lamb
The healer and the wounded
Father and the only Son are one
One and the same
I can't do Him justice with any one name
The Holy God of Heaven and the humble man who bore
Who bore my shame are one, one and the same
The way that we can come to know
The truth that sets us free, yeah
The life that died, God rose again
Love revealed
You are one and, one and the same
I just can't do it with any one name
Oh, Holy God of Heaven and the humble man who bore my shame
Are one, one and the same
Are one, one and the same
