Only Jesus
Avis B. Christiansen • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 17:8
Verse 1
I’ve found a refuge from life’s care in Jesus, I am hiding in His love divine; He fully understands my soul’s deep longing, And He whispers softly, “Thou art Mine.”
Chorus
Only Jesus! Only Jesus! Only He can satisfy; Every burden becomes a blessing, When I know my Lord is nigh.
Verse 2
I’ve found a precious joy in knowing Jesus, Never dreamed of in this world of woe; No clouds, however dark, can dim the radiance Of the heav’nly light He doth bestow.
Chorus
Only Jesus! Only Jesus! Only He can satisfy; Every burden becomes a blessing, When I know my Lord is nigh.
Verse 3
I’ve found a blessèd hope divine in Jesus, ’Tis a Day Star ever shining bright; It fills my earthly way with heav’nly glory, And it turns life’s darkness into light.
Chorus
Only Jesus! Only Jesus! Only He can satisfy; Every burden becomes a blessing, When I know my Lord is nigh.
