CHAPTER 2
One Glimpse
Chapter 2 of Unshakable – A Salvation Story
🕯️ Christian Season: Advent
“One Glimpse” is about the power of a single encounter with Jesus.
In the middle of darkness, loneliness, and struggle, one glimpse of His light changes everything.
The song holds together both the reality of spiritual warfare and the promise of unshakable hope. It acknowledges that forces wrestle for our souls — yet it never glorifies the darkness. Instead, it proclaims that Christ’s light pierces through shadows, chains are broken, and despair gives way to hope.
In Advent, as we wait for the Light of the World, “One Glimpse” becomes a prayer: just one glimpse of Jesus can transform a life forever.

One Glimpse:
Just one glimpse of you
Is where it began
My spirit awakened
That’s when you walked in
One glimpse of you
Is where it began
Mmmm
Mmmmm
Just one glimpse…
My heart has been changed
I’ve been transformed
I’m scouting and searching
Every inch of the land
Searching… Ohhhh Searching
One glimpse of Jesus, and he walks in
One glimpse of Jesus, and he walks in
Lightning Crashses
As time stands still
It took just one glimpse
One Sighting
One Still
Could this be it
I see the light
Just a glimpse as my world shakes tonight
Wooo. Wooo. Oooo
The battles rages
A fight your soul
One glimpse of his glory
Brakes the chill in the air
Prayers have been answered
Mmmm mmmmm
2 forces wrestling for my soul
Spiritual Warfare for my soul
Lightning Crashses
As time stands still
It took just one glimpse
One Sighting
One Still
Could this be it
I see the light
Just a glimpse as my world shakes tonight
Lighting crashes as time stands still
n Filling Shadows and Shame
Oooo
Locking darkness away in shakels and chains
n Could this be it, I can see the light
n ooo
It took just one glimpse one sighting one chill
Lightning crashes on sighting one still
n As time stands still
My whole world is shaking
n Could this be right
One sighting one chill
Oooh Oooh

Behind the Song
“One Glimpse” was written to echo the longing of Advent — the cry for light in darkness. The song moves between shadow and hope, reminding us that even one sighting of Christ can undo a lifetime of pain.
As the world prepares for Christmas, this song invites us to prepare our hearts, asking not for more proof, but simply for one glimpse of the Savior’s light.
