There Is One Lord (AOV 2/148)

A song based on Ephesians 4:5 by Owen Alstott. The verse is mean to be faster than the refrain and that is a difficult trick to pull off without a cantor so good luck. A snippet at AOV will give you the idea, or you could listen to the whole song here.

It can be purchased for download at OCP.

Refrain

There is one Lord. There is one faith.

There is one fountain flowing with the waters of rebirth.

Verse 1

As the dew from heaven falls upon the earth,

so the love of God descends upon us.

Refrain

Verse 2

See the water flowing from the temple wall,

from the side of Christ renewing all the earth.

Refrain

Verse 3

Like a thirsty deer that longs for running streams,

so my spirit longs for God, the living God.

Refrain

Verse 4

In the roar of waters deep calls out to the deep.

In the surging waves the voice of God is heard.

Refrain

Verse 5

Blest beyond all measure by the love of God,

all creation sings the glory of his name.

Refrain
