One thing God has spoken
Two things have I heard
He whose laws are broken
Every day on earth
Seasons always spin unending
Every day turns into night
As the players still pretending
All prefer the dark to light
One thing
One thing spoken
Two things
Have I heard
God above has awesome power
And He loves the world
While the nations rage defiant
All the demons curse in spite
Fleeing from His holy presence
All are hiding from the light
Who has strength to stop the violence
Only God who must prevail
He who sees will surely silence
All who truth and love assail
One thing
One thing spoken
Two things
Have I heard
God who has almighty power
Came in flesh to save the world
Who has love to temper vengeance
Grace to pardon, captives free
Only God who calls His children
Opens eyes and makes them see
One thing God has spoken
Two things have I heard
God above with power unbroken
Came in love to save the world
[One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Psalm 62:11-12]
