Shane Barnard and Shane Everett, collectively known as Contemporary Christian duo Shane and Shane, have come up with the brilliant The One You Need, an absolutely moving ballad that speaks to women everywhere to put their trust in Someone who will never never let them down: Jesus Christ. The One You Need is written from the perspective of a father telling his daughter about how much he loves her, but that at the end of the day, Jesus will be the one who will ultimately provide her everything she needs. As a father of a three-year-old girl, I can totally relate to this, and I imagine fathers and daughters everywhere will be blessed by The One You Need, which is almost tailor-made to become a staple at weddings and 18th birthdays everywhere. Shane and Shane, you’ve hit this one out of the ballpark. Kudos on a brilliant song.

THE ONE YOU NEED Lyrics
Shane and Shane
Hey hey sweet daughter
I am so proud to be your father
Each day is like a gift from God
Hey hey sweet daughter
There’s no music like your laughter
And your smile is like a rising sun
You know I loved you from the start
So come in close
Take my hand for
Daddy shares his heart
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need
No matter what you walk through
He will always love you
Just the way you are
For there’s nothing in this world
That I’d walk for my baby girl
That she’ll be happy ever after
The story of your life is still untold
I pray the King of all the Universe
Would make your heart His own
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one
Who will never leave
He’s been there all along
All ready You can find to love
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need
