Lyrics
Only Jesus
V1: People in the shadows, people throwing stones,
People all around him, but Jesus was alone.
Knew where He was going, knew what waited there.
Cross He carried for me wasn't all that He would bear.
Chorus: Only Jesus. Oh-oh-oh-oh-o ... Only Jesus did that.
Only Jesus. Jesus, only Jesus.
Verse 2: Prophecy was written, prophecy would be.
Born to live and die for my eternity.
Mother, brothers, others ... many there would weep,
But no one else could bear th'sins for you and me.
Chorus: Only Jesus. Oh-oh-oh-oh-o ... Only Jesus did that.
Only Jesus ... Jesus, only Jesus.
Instrumental
Bridge: Jesus is the Savior. Jesus is the King.
Jesus is forever the Lamb, the Offering.
Jesus is One, saved a wretch like me.
Sharing all the glory for all eternity.
Chorus x 2: Only Jesus. Oh-oh-oh-oh-o ... Only Jesus did that.
Only Jesus ... Jesus, only Jesus.
