Only Jesus

Who do I turn to when all roads seem closed by sin and sorrow, doubts and horrors… Only Jesus! – Quote by Poet

Only Jesus knows my heart
He knows how I feel and when I hurt
He knows my thoughts and my dreams
He understands the many worries inside me

Only Jesus knows my hopes
He knows how I wish that I was a better person
He knows my darkest dread and all my discouragements
He understands the things that make me feel so weak, so frail
Like a dandelion – dressed in so many fragile seeds…
As if just a breath could scatter each inspiration, every belief
All the joy that beats out a rhythm in my chest
All the wonder that makes me forget the past’s regret

Only Jesus knows my destiny
He knows what has been and what will be
The good and bad – the happy and sad
The whisper of peace that inspires my faith
The song of praise that brings light to His grace
He knows all my finest ideas, the ones that erase
Each doubt, every fear… replacing the shadows
With light that pours out a sense of gentle quiet
Blessings so alive, so admirable, so enlightening

Only Jesus has the power, the strength
To bring elation to my spirit, pleasure that is brilliant
Wonders so alive and vibrant they feel like the Son
Shining hope, faith and love – across the spirit, 
Into the feelings, where there is such a need for Him
The King of kings – the prince of peace – the redeemer
The reason I believe… His light shines through every pain
Freeing me from worry, despair and dread… everything
All the darkness of sin that has been in the past,
The anxiety that colors my life in shadows of doubt
The reminders that He is… the only reason I can feel
Like there is a better day, a brighter way – and I pray
He will never leave me… He will always abide with me!

Only Jesus… sighs, sings, smiles my breathless heart
The heart who is filled with a love, a light, the insight
That comes to life with the knowing… in my soul, 
His love, His spirit, His joy is flowing and growing 
With every passing moment, ONLY JESUS… reveals
The wonder of a peace that is more beautiful than…
… any hope, dream or fantasy!
Only Jesus… holds the key that will open the heart
	… to believe in Him without a doubt
With the spark of a faith that never dies out!
