For Only One

how valuable are we in God's eyes?
how valuable is one in God's eyes?

Matthew 18:12-14
'12 "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.'
its also in Luke 15:3-7 where the parable is told.

(sorry to spoil the reading, but this kind of sucks when you can't hear the music of the song)

For Only One

Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan

A simple gospel message
In a little church one day
Touched the heart of one
Who listened
As the congregation prayed
There'd been an invitation
Inviting all to come
But kneeling down to pray
Was only one

CHORUS:
For only one
He would have suffered
And given up His life
For only one
He'd have borne the shame
And made the sacrifice
For God so loved the whole world
He gave His only Son
But I believe
He'd have done the same
For only one

Now some may say, Why bother
With only one or two?
But Jesus knows the feeling
When the only one is you
So if you hear Him calling
Don't be ashamed to come
Even if you're the only one

CHORUS

For only one
He would have died for only one
You are the one
