One By One

I just stumbled upon this. Apparently John Schlitt of the Christian band Petra recorded a new version of Joe Fair's song, "One By One." It's got different lyrics in most of the verses but the chorus is the same. It's actually not bad. (It was one of the better songs Joe Fair did.)

It also lists Rich Gootee (formerly of Good Seed) as one of the co-writers. I don't know exactly what his contribution was. As I remember, the song was originally done by Joe Fair and Ralph Graham.

ONE BY ONE

Joe Fair, John Schlitt, Rich Gootee

Lord, Your love turned my world around

Your words lifted me up as I was going down

But even now, as I stand tall and strong

There are so many more searching for where they belong

(Chorus)

If I can reach just one

If I can touch just one

If I can help just one

One by one

One man could do so much

Sharing the life that he lives through God's loving touch

That light that shines from the mountain top

It is a beacon of strength and of hope That no one can rob

He has given so much

Freely given so much

Don't hide you light in the dark

Just let it shine
