One True Love Song

One True Love                4/4    Key of D


Chor:    I have one true love And one true love have I

    And he will never leave my side  Even the day I die

1)    Him I safely call my friend He who my heart defends

    Laugh and cry, time and again He who my soul comprehends

    He promised me he would stay with me

    Our lives together ever married be

    He sealed his pledge with a promised stone

    Cap and corner cut without hands stone

    Kept his vow Then and now

    Took the crown to his brow

    My king indeed, and a noble heart

    Fairest of them all my true love thou art

Chor:    I have one true love, And one true love have I
    And I will never leave his side,  Even the day I die

2)    I am safe beneath his wing,  My babes to his shoulders cling
    In this refuge I will sing , of my love for my faithful King
     He promised me he would cover me
    He promised me a river and a tree       
    He lives his pledge with a great strong arm
    Never short to save that great lasting arm
    His to bless, Wide his yes
    His to rule and redress
    My friend indeed, and a noble heart
    Fairest of them all, my true love thou art

Chor:
    I have one true love, And one true love have I
    And he will ne’er forsake my soul, Even the day I die

3)    On him I safely can depend, All in its turn to provide
    Home and hearth I easily tend, Not just his friend but his bride
    He promised me an equal share       
    He’s granted me to be co-heir
    Of all he rules, and of all he bears
    Time, eternal life, and that kingdom fair
   
    All I’d leave To him I cleave
    So I cling to his sleeve
    And what on earth above or beneath
    Could shake or rattle all that I now believe?

Instrumental break

Chor:    I have one true love,  And one true love have I
    And he will ne’er forsake my side, Even the day I die

4)    He has tasted death for me,That I might guarded be
    He poured out his heart to the sod,That I might be born unto God
    Oh rich am I in his boundless love   
    Hid am I in his life above
    Oh, safe am I in his deep wide heart
    Fairest of them all my true love thou art
    So I say rest in me I rest in thee
    Find your comfort in me
    I am thine own wild flying dove
    Winging ever homeward to your cote of love  

    Rest in me I rest in thee
    Find your comfort in me
    I am thine own wild flying dove
    Winging ever homeward to your cote of love
