A Soul's Yearning for Redemption and Love

United Pursuit's song 'One' is a heartfelt plea for spiritual renewal and divine connection. The lyrics express a deep sense of desperation and weakness, as the singer longs for a transformative experience symbolized by a rushing river. This river represents a source of life, cleansing, and renewal, which the singer feels an urgent need for in their emptiness and neediness.

The chorus emphasizes the desire for a singular, all-encompassing relationship with the divine, asking to be filled and for innocence to be restored. This reflects a yearning for purity and a return to a state of grace, where the divine presence is the sole focus and source of fulfillment. The repetition of 'Be my one and only' underscores the exclusivity and intensity of this spiritual longing.

The song also speaks to the transformative power of divine love and redemption. The fire mentioned in the lyrics is a metaphor for purification, burning away the hollow parts of the soul. The life within the divine's eyes, which cruelty couldn't swallow, suggests an enduring, unassailable source of hope and love. The repeated affirmations that 'Everything You do is redemption' and 'Everything You are is perfect love' highlight the belief in the divine's ability to redeem and perfect the human soul. This song is a powerful expression of faith, hope, and the transformative power of divine love and redemption.
