Only You
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
We thank you, father in heaven 
Who sings all young songs of love 
Let us bow before the Messiah 
Jesus, save us from the darkness of human hearts 
Help us to understand the purpose of Your pain and suffering 
Help us to see the beauty of the least of Thy creatures 
Impart on us thy infinitely complex mercy 
And limit the trespassers! 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
Through the pain and anguish 
Bring those who bear hate closer to Thy gentle creation 
Reach out ,o Lord, in Thy holy mercy, 
And catch this innocent young girl, 
The loveliest of Thy peoples 
She cried out in the long dark night of her soul 
And we who love her on this earth 
Can neither hear nor understand! 
Only you, o God! 
Only You can once again present to her 
The warmth of a joyous life, 
An innocent world, 
A sunshine of laughter, 
And the grace of Jesus Christ! 
Only You! 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you 
Only you 
Only you 
Only you, you, you, only you
