Lyrics

Jesus on­ly is our mes­sage,
Jesus all our theme shall be;
We will lift up Je­sus ev­er,
Jesus on­ly will we see.

Refrain

Jesus on­ly, Je­sus ev­er,
Jesus all in all we sing,
Savior, sanc­ti­fi­er, and heal­er,
Glorious Lord and com­ing king.

Jesus on­ly is our Sav­ior,
All our guilt He bore away,
All our right­eous­ness He gives us,
All our strength from day to day.

Refrain

Jesus is our sanc­ti­fi­er,
Cleansing us from self and sin,
And with all His Spir­it’s full­ness,
Filling all our hearts with­in.

Refrain

Jesus on­ly is our heal­er,
All our sick­ness­es He bare,
And His ris­en life and full­ness,
All His mem­bers still may share.

Refrain

Jesus on­ly is our pow­er,
He the gift of Pen­te­cost,
Jesus, breathe Thy pow­er up­on us,
Fill us with the Ho­ly Ghost.

Refrain

And for Je­sus we are wait­ing,
Listening for the ad­vent call;
But ’twill still be Je­sus on­ly,
Jesus ev­er, all in all.
