Single Minded
A glad, devoted worship song for older kids and preteens (about ages 9-13), from the album "Love Not This World." Singleness reframed as gift — "whom have I in heaven but thee?" (Psalm 73:25) — honoring both callings, with the heart set on Christ the Bridegroom whose wedding is coming, and the Lord Himself as more than enough today.

Single Minded — Lyrics
Intro
Whom have I in heaven but You, Lord? ...You are enough for me.
Verse 1
You give the ring and the vow as a gift, my Father, good and true, and You give the single, open hands a gift as precious too; so I will not count it lack, and I will not sit in shame — You set me where You willed me, Lord; I'll abide and bless Your name.
Pre-Chorus
So make me content right here, in the place You've planned; hold this heart, O Lord — keep it in Your hand.
Chorus
Single-minded — Lord, let my one heart be Yours; undistracted, all my days, set apart for the Cause; not a leftover, not a maybe, not a waiting in the cold — free to love You, free to serve You... and Christ alone is gold. I can't make my own heart still, but You can; single-minded — hold me, Lord, in Your hand.
Verse — For the Heart That Burns to Marry
And if You've lit a heart to marry, Lord, then lead it — let it burn no more; it is good, it is honored — better wed than scorched and sore; so not a string of restless dating, not a hundred cold goodbyes, but pure, and in the Lord, and timely — a covenant, not a prize. For the one who finds a spouse finds favor, a good thing from Your hand; so bless the ones who long to marry — lead them, Lord, to stand.
Verse 2
There's a freedom in these empty hands that I can lift to You — free to run and tell the lost, free to sit where widows do, free to learn and love Your Word, free to give my hours away; what looks like less to watching eyes is wholly Yours today.
Bridge
For every soul that trusts You is betrothed to Christ alone, and the truest wedding's coming when the Lamb brings home His own; in that morning none are given in marriage — we'll be complete in You, so this is not a lonely road — it's one window to what's true. And I can do nothing apart from You — abide in me, and bear the love I could never do.
Final Chorus
Single-minded — Lord, let my whole life be Yours; glad and given, every day, flung wide for the Cause; You're not a second-best to me, not a comfort for the cold — You're the Bridegroom and the Morning... and You alone are gold. Make me Yours and keep me Yours; I'm held within Your hand — single-minded, satisfied... content in Your good plan.
Outro
I'm already His, I'm already His — married or single, both are gifts... and whom have I but You? I'm Yours!
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.”
Little lesson for little hearts
The Psalmist sings the heart of this song: "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee" (Psalm 73:25). Singleness is not a holding pattern or a leftover — Paul calls it a gift, just as he calls marriage a gift (1 Corinthians 7:7), and he tells us to abide where God has set us (1 Corinthians 7:17, 24). The single heart has a special freedom: "He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:32-35) — free to run to the lost, sit beside the widow (James 1:27), learn the Word (2 Timothy 2:15), and give the hours away. And the song honors the other calling too: marriage is "honourable in all" (Hebrews 13:4), "whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD" (Proverbs 18:22) — only "in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:39), pure and patient, "better to marry than to burn" (1 Corinthians 7:9). Every soul that trusts Christ is already "espoused… to one husband… to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:2), and the truest wedding is coming — the marriage of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7), when none are given in marriage and we are complete in Him (Matthew 22:30). So we can be content right now in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:11) — "I am already His" — because the Bridegroom and the Bright Morning Star is enough.
