Story Behind the Song
In 1992 I had returned to my home town of Liverpool, after a very dark period in my life. I managed to get the funds together to buy a really nice acoustic, and this song was written on it. I don't mean to turn off the atheist in my audience, but this song is my 'hymn' to my God, thanking him for his support, and acknowledging my faults;....'Only you hold the key...'

Lyrics
Only you hold the key,
That lifts up my spirit,sets my soul free,
Oh my Lord it is only you,
That gives me the power to do those things I can do,
So Lord, all praise is due,
To no-one other than you,
None can do those things, Only you
Only you, Only you, Only you,
Well its true sometimes I've forgot,
Just which is right my Lord, and just which is not,
Only you show me the straight way,
A pillar of mildness, guard me from going astray,
So Lord, all praise is due,
To no-one other than you,
None can do those things, Only you
Only you, Only you, Only you,
Oh my Lord you show me your signs,
It's only you that helps me see thru these dark times,
Guide me day by day, show me truth,
Well your mercy already provided me with the proof,
So Lord, all praise is due,
To no-one other than you,
None can do those things, Only you
Only you, Only you, Only you,
Only You.
