There's Only One- Caedmon's Call

This song has become one of my favorites and i can often seen cruising around belting this out at the top of my lungs. here's the lyrics and at the end i'll put something from a Caedmon's site about the song.



Left his seamless robe behind
Woke up in a stable crying
Lived and died and rose again
Savior for a guilty land


It's a story like a children's tune
And it's grown familiar as the moon
So now I ride my camel high
And I'm aiming for the needle's eye


I chased the wind, but I chased in vain
I chased the earth, but it would not sustain


There's only one who never fails
To beckon the morning light
There's only one who sets loose the gales
And ties the trees down tight
When all around my soul gives way
He is all my hope and stay
There's only one, only one Holy One


Lord, You are my Prince of Peace
But this war brings me to my knees
See there's a table You've prepared
And all my enemies are there
But where my Shepherd leads
Where else can I go
Who else fills my cup till it overflows


There's only one who never fails
To beckon the morning light
There's only one who sets loose the gales
And ties the trees down tight
When all around my soul gives way
He is all my hope and stay
There's only one, only one Holy One


There's only one who never fails
To beckon the morning light
There's only one who sets loose the gales
And ties the trees down tight
To the Solid Rock I fly
Though He bids me come and die
There's only one, only one Holy One


There's only one who never fails
To beckon the morning light
There's only one who sets loose the gales
And ties the trees down tight
When all around my soul gives way
He is all my hope and stay
And there's only one, only one Holy One



"This song came directly out of conversations I had with Danielle about the struggle to live a life that always trusts in Jesus. She had been studying Psalm 23---seeing it in a new light---but reaffirming that no matter how you look at it, only God is God. And at the end of the day, if we believe that, it brings comfort and peace and rest, because the burden of this life is not ours to bear. The music was born out of a Brazillian drum groove that Garett had given me a copy of."

please do not post on this site. you have proven that you cannot handle a relationship and i have continually asked you to respect my desire and cease communication with me. stop trying to reach me. stop communicating with my family. stop trying to communicate with my pastors. if you fail to honor my desires i will be forced to pursue legal actions to force you to cease this.

i ask you to please respect my wishes.
