Only One

"An old prophet in Beth-el… cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD… thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee” (1 Kings 13:11,21).  "God is the Judge" (Psalm 75:7).  "My son, be wise, and make My heart glad" (Proverbs 27:11).  "Do we begin again to commend ourselves?... Our sufficiency is of God" (2 Corinthians 3:1,5). 

A man of God became dismayed

Who did not heed what God had said.

He heard another, and he strayed

By giving heed to him instead.

There's only One we must obey,

No matter who has disagreed. 

The Lord commands our hearts today

To follow Him where He will lead. 

When God says, "Stay," we dare not budge.

When God says "Leave," it's time to go. 

The Lord our Savior is the Judge;

That's all we really need to know. 

O Lord, You are the only One

Who gave Your life for our salvation! 

When everything is said and done,

We only need Your commendation.
