No 84 in AOV NG is another emmanuelworship song, “Jesus You’re the One” by James Garrahy. This is a fair pop song but too high and too long for anything other than praise and worship settings. There are also far too many words IMHO. Some strikingly good phrases are lost in the verbiage, like “so you know what it’s like to breathe” and “the one who took the nails”.
Verse 1
You’re one who calmed the storm.
You’re the one who healed the sick.
You’re the one who walked upon the water.
You’re the one who taught forgiveness.
You’re the one who loved us all.
You’re the one who gave his life to set us free.
And oh how you walked the earth for us
So you know what it’s like to breathe.
And all the pain you took for us
So we could have hope and believe.
Refrain
Jesus, you’re the one!
I want you in my life.
Without you I wouldn’t be the same.
Jesus, you’re the one!
You teach me how to shine.
Jesus, you have set me free!
Jesus you’re the one!
Verse 2
You’re the one who lifts the lonely.
You’re the one who feeds us all.
You’re the one who never leaves our side through the darkest storm.
You’re the one who died for us.
You’re the one who rose again.
You’re the one who put death to sleep forever.
And all the love you have for us
So we could have hope filled days.
And all the grace you’ve given us
So we could have hope and believe.
Refrain
Jesus, you’re the one
(key change)
Verse 3
You’re the one who loves to love me.
You’re the one who cheers me on.
You’re the one who lifts me up when I can’t carry on.
You’re the one who’ll never leave me.
You’re the one who never fails.
You’re the one who’s there through it all,
The one who took the nails.
And all the love you have for us,
a love I can’t understand.
and all the life you bought for us
So we could have hope and believe.
Refrain
You have set us free. You have set us free (four times)
