He Is The One



He can make the ocean dry
He can stay the setting sun
Creator of the earth and sky
He is the One

He can tame the raging wind
Make the mountains tremble
Master of miracles
He is the One

He is the One who carves my heart into
A smoother stone
He is the One who gives me strength
When I am too weak to move on
He is everything I need
Mighty power and Holy peace
He is the One

He can calm a restless soul
He will save a fallen stranger
A refuge where my heart can go
He is the One
He offers saving grace
In a world that offers none
And I will live to sing His praise
He sees me for what I can become

He is the One who carves my heart into
A smoother stone
He is the One who gives me strength
When I am too weak to move on
He is everything I need
Mighty power and Holy peace
He is the One
He is the One
