Song Meaning
Hillsong United names its claim in the title and doesn't soften it across the song's four verses: "One Way Jesus, You're the only one that I could live for." "You are the Way the Truth and the Life" quotes John 14:6 directly, Jesus's own words to his disciples the night before his crucifixion.
"We live by faith and not by sight for You" pulls in 2 Corinthians 5:7's description of the Christian life — "we walk by faith, not by sight" — pairing the exclusive claim of the title with a description of how that claim actually gets lived out day to day. "You will never ever change, yesterday today the same" echoes Hebrews 13:8's claim that Jesus Christ is "the same yesterday, today, and forever," grounding the song's confidence in consistency rather than novelty.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Cause You're the only one I need
I turn to You and You are always there
In troubled times it's You I seek
I put You first that's all I need
I humble all I am all to You
One way Jesus
You're the only one that I could live for
One Way Jesus
You're the only one that I could live for
You are always, always there
Every how and everywhere
Your grace abounds so deeply within me
You will never ever change
Yesterday today the same
Forever till forever meets no end
One way Jesus
You're the only one that I could live for
One Way Jesus
You're the only one that I could live for
You are the Way the Truth and the Life
We live by faith and not by sight for You
We're living all for You
