Kurt Carr's 'One Word' is a worship song expressing deep longing for God's voice and revelation. The lyrics describe a gathering of believers in anticipation, seeking divine truth and deliverance. The central theme is the power of God's spoken word to break chains and bring freedom. The song emphasizes the personal nature of God's message, tailored for each individual, and includes a prayer for cleansing and being used by God. It references the biblical imagery of God's word as a lamp and light, and the repeated plea 'Speak Lord' underscores a posture of surrender and dependence on God's guidance.

[Verse 1:]
Here we are in great anticipation,
We have gathered in pursuit of You.
Longing for divine revelation,
Breathe on us with Your Word of truth.
[Chorus 1:]
One word is all we need to destroy captivity
And break the chains that are binding.
One Rhema word, designed with Your expertise,
Tailor made for me; speak Lord
Through Your word, reveal Yourself to me.
[Verse 2:]
Lips of clay are so unworthy to speak for You,
So with grace won't You purge and clean.
Breathe into me and like a masterful musician,
Playing an instrument, You can play through me.
[Bridge:]
Your Word is a light unto my pathway,
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet.
Speak Lord, speak Lord.
Speak Lord, speak Lord.
[Chorus 2:]
One word is all we need to destroy captivity
And break the chains that are binding.
One Rhema word, designed with Your expertise,
Tailor made for me...
[Vamp:]
Speak Lord, speak Lord,
Speak Lord, reveal Yourself to me.
[Ending:]
Speak Lord,
Through Your word, reveal Yourself to me.
