I am trying to get the song, Only One Life, written by Merrill Dunlop.  I am willing to buy it, does anyone know where I can buy it?

The database here shows seven hymnals this song has appeared in:

Ambassador Hymnal: for Lutheran worship

Favorites Number 4: A Collection of Gospel Songs

Great Hymns of the Faith

Hymns for the Living Church

Praise! Our Songs and Hymns

Sing Joyfully

The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration

 

So you could simply buy one of these hymnals. The song is under copyright, so Hymnary.com is not authorized to show you page scans. The words are by Avis Christiansen, the tune by Dunlop. The copyright was owned last I saw by Zondervan, which I think is now Integrity Music,or by the Benson Company. So those companies might have fancier scores, settings for particular instrumentation etc. The hymnals I've seen it in just have it set SATB for congregation (and simple piano accompaniment).
