Only Jesus

Be before me in every moment
Hem me in from day to day
Broken by the force of Your glory
Crucified to my own ways

Let each action be Your action
Bind me to Your will
Let me move in Your strength, not mine
In success and in failure, let it still
Be only Jesus.

Let each word speak Your praises
Humble, bold and true
Please keep Your hand over my mouth
Let me exalt no one but You--
Only Jesus.

Let each thought be taken captive
Submitted to who You are
Best, brightest, All in All
Every hunger of my heart
Satisfied by only Jesus.

You who have given all of Yourself
Stooped low to wash my feet
Laid down in the grave I dug for myself
Assumed the weight of my defeat
Then conquering and claiming
The worst of these lowly lands
So even death and sin boast of His glory
And are cast into the sands
Of fading time

Take me, You who know me
Keep me, You who bought me
Lead me from glory to glory
Till my clamoring flesh falls silent
The world's uproar fades
Your sweet music fills my soul
And my heart sinks deep into the same song, now free:
Only Jesus.
