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.
