JESUS ONLY IS OUR MESSAGE

“And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”  (1 Corinthians 2:1-2 NIV)
 
Jesus only is our message,
Jesus all our theme shall be;
We will lift up Jesus ever,
Jesus only will we see.
 
Jesus only is our Savior,
All our guilt He bore away,
He, our righteousness forever,
All our strength from day to day.
 
Jesus is our Sanctifier,
Saving us from self and sin,
And with all His Spirit’s fullness,
Filling all our hearts within.
 
Jesus only is our Healer,
All our sicknesses He bare,
And His risen life and fullness,
All His members still may share.
 
Jesus only is our Power,
He the gift of Pentecost;
Jesus, breathe Thy pow’r upon us,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost.
 
And for Jesus we are waiting,
List’ning for the Advent Call;
But ’twill still be Jesus only,
Jesus ever, all in all.
         
-- Albert Benjamin Simpson (1843-1919)
