One Life By Dr. Paul Enenche Ft Nathaniel Bassey

“One Life” by Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche featuring Nathaniel Bassey is a deeply reflective, prayerful worship anthem rooted in the themes of total surrender, consecration, and divine purpose. Anchored by the Biblical posture of Philippians 1:21 (“for to me, to live is Christ”), the song moves beyond standard congregational praise to deliver a sober, introspective cry for a life lived entirely for God’s glory. Lyrics like “Help me not to waste my life on those things that matter not” highlight the brevity of human existence, urging listeners to align their ambitions, time, and talents with the divine will. It serves as both a humble petition for spiritual cleansing and an unreserved rededication of one’s days to eternal values rather than temporal pursuits.

Musically, the track relies on a serene, slow-tempo worship arrangement that prioritizes emotional clarity and atmosphere over flashy production. Dr. Paul Enenche’s grounded, soulful lead vocal establishes an authentic tone of devotion, which is elevated seamlessy by Nathaniel Bassey’s signature trumpet accents and gentle, soaring vocal harmonies. Supported by the rich backing of the choir, the dynamic structure builds steadily into a heartfelt crescendo, giving the composition a warm, sanctuary-like resonance. Overall, “One Life” succeeds as an enduring gospel release, combining poignant songcraft with a ministering atmosphere that leaves a lasting spiritual impression.

Lyrics: One Life By Dr Paul Enenche Ft Nathaniel Bassey

Take me Lord and use me Lord

As an instrument of love

Let me be acceptable

Let me be pleasing to You

There’s one reason I’m alive

And that is to live for You

Nothing else is worth the while

Nothing else is valuable

Take me Lord and use me Lord

As an instrument of love (as an instrument of love)

Let me be acceptable (let me be acceptable)

Let me be pleasing to You (let me be pleasing to You)

There’s one reason I’m alive

And that is to live for You (and that is to live for You)

Nothing else is worth the while

Nothing else is valuable (nothing else is valuable)

Lord, I want to know You more

Lord, I want to see Your face

Lord, I want to do Your will

Lord, I want to live for You

Lord, I want to know You more

Lord, I want to see Your face

Lord, I want to do Your will

Lord, I want to live for You

I have just one life to live

And it must glorify You (and it must glorify You)

I am yours, oh, Lord in time

And for all eternity

I have just one life to live

And it must glorify You

I am yours, oh, Lord in time

And for all eternity

Help me not to waste my life

On those things that matter not

Let me live within Your plan

And Your purpose for me Lord

And all I have, is Yours to use

And where You send me, I will go

It’s no longer I that live

For me, to live is Christ

Lord, I want to know You more, (Lord I want to know You more)

Lord, I want to see Your face, (I want to see Your face)

Lord, I want to do Your will, (I want to do Your will)

Lord, I want to live for You, (all my life for you)

Lord, I want to know You more, (I want to know You more)

Lord, I want to see Your face (I want to see Your face, to behold the beauty of Your presence)

Lord, I want to do Your will

Lord, I want to live for You

Lord, I want to know You more (ooh-ooh)

Lord, I want to see Your face

Lord, I want to do Your will

Lord, I want to live for You

Lord, I want to know You more

Lord, I want to see Your face (to seek Your face, to know You more)

Lord, I want to do Your will (to live for You)

Lord, I want to Live for You

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Lord, I have made up my mind

To follow You to the end

I have taken up the cross

I have got no other choice

Rid me Lord of all those things

That make me unqualified

As a vessel in Your hands

So I can be useful Lord

Lord, I want to know You more

Lord, I want to see Your face

Lord, I want to do Your will

Lord, I want to live for You (Lord, I want to live for You)

Lord, I want to know You more

Lord, I want to see Your face

Lord, I want to do Your will

Lord, I want to live for You (Lord, I want to live for You)

I have just one life to live

And it must glorify You (and it must glorify You)

I am yours, oh, Lord in time

And for all eternity

I have just one life to live (I have just one life to live)

And itS must glorify You (glorify you)

I am yours, oh, Lord in time

And for all eternity
