The Only one

The Only One
Bill Itzel

The Messiah would be found in the line of Abraham
Through Isaac, and through Jacob, The blessing to all men
He is the heir of Judah, where the scepter shall not fall
In the kingly line of David, the Sovereign over all

Only one born of a virgin, in the town of Bethlehem
Crowned as Sovereign by the Magi, worshipped by an angel band
Made to flee down into Egypt, by a king who knew the truth
That the baby in the manger would have everlasting rule


Chorus
There is only One who can be the Messiah
There is only One who can be the Christ
There is only One raised for our redemption
It is Jesus, our living Sacrifice


In spirit of Elijah, a forerunner would come
And the voice of God would say, this is my beloved Son
A sinless life and ministry, that began in Galilee
Speaking justice to the nations, Jesus Christ the nazarene

Teaching truth in parables as Isaiah once foretold
The King of the Jews, yet bringing gentiles in the fold
He called Himself the Son of Man and preached good news to all
A stone to make men stumble and a rock to make them fall

It was Daniel who predicted the Messiah’s time to come
For he said He would be cut off when the 62 were done
He came riding on a donkey to set the captives free
But betrayed for 30 pieces, in chains within a week

Before accusers silent, forsaken, mocked, and scorned
They gambled for His clothing, as psalmist David mourned
They pierced His hands and feet, “Forgive them” He would shout
Not one bone would be broken, but His blood would be poured out

Crucified with criminals, buried with the rich
Abandoned and rejected as He made an end to sin
He prophesied that He would die, but would not see decay
For three days passed and Jesus the Messiah had been raised
