There is only one God

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
There is only one King:
There is only one God,
My Lord of everything.
Saviour to all the lost,
Redeemer for my soul:
A sovereign mighty God,
A Father to us all.

His name is Jesus,
Messiah,
My soul longs to sing.
His name is Jesus,
Messiah,
Master and King,
Master and King.
