Psalm 27 (One Thing)
Shane & Shane's 'Psalm 27 (One Thing)' is a worship song that directly adapts the biblical Psalm 27, expressing trust in God as light, salvation, and strength, which removes fear. The lyrics emphasize a single desire: to dwell in God's presence, gaze on His beauty, and worship Him. The song includes a prayerful response to God's call to seek His face, and it culminates in declarations of God as holy, Father, redeemer, and delight. It is a meditative and reverent piece that encourages listeners to make God their one focus and to find courage in His protection.
The Lord is my light
And my salvation
And whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
The Lord is my strength
The stronghold of my life
And whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
And you said, "Seek my face"
Your face oh God I seek
One thing I ask and I will seek
To dwell in the house of the Lord all my days
To gaze upon your beauty, worship at your feet
Oh, one thing I seek
The Lord is my light
And my salvation
And whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
The Lord is my strength
The stronghold of my life
And whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
And you said, "Seek my face"
Your face oh God I seek
One thing I ask and I will seek
To dwell in the house of the Lord all my days
To gaze upon your beauty, worship at your feet
Oh, one thing I seek
Holy fire
Abba Father
My redeemer
My delight
Holy, holy
God almighty
You're the one thing
That I desire
One thing I ask and I will seek
To dwell in the house of the Lord all my days
To gaze upon your beauty, worship at your feet
Oh, one thing I seek
Only one thing
