If I Got Jesus
Ben Fuller's song 'If I Got Jesus' is a declaration of contentment and hope found in Christ alone. The lyrics reflect on personal struggles, lost relationships, and failures, but conclude that having Jesus is enough to meet every need. The song emphasizes that true wealth is not material but spiritual, rooted in Christ's presence and grace. It speaks of a deep-seated joy and a safe refuge in God, and looks forward to the future hope of Christ's return and eternal home. The message is one of faith, assurance, and gratitude for the sufficiency of Jesus.
I've had a dollar to my name
I've had friends that walked away
And I've even lost myself a time or two
There were bridges crossed and burned
But through all the wreckage I have learned
There is one thing that I can never lose
If I've got Jesus
I've got all that I could ever need
Take the world away from me
And I'll be ok
If I've got Jesus
There's a hope that's living deep inside
A joy that I could never hide
And a safe place to fall
If I've got Jesus
I got it all
Mmm...
I've seen weakness turn to strength
I've seen failures met with grace
And it's not from what I've done, it's Christ in me
A miracle I can't explain
Oh, He's given me His name
I'm the richest man that I could ever be
If I've got Jesus
I've got all that I could ever need
Take the world away from me
And I'll be ok
If I've got Jesus
There's a hope that's living deep inside
A joy that I could never hide
And a safe place to fall
If I've got Jesus
I got it all
Oh oh
Someday that trumpet's gonna sound
And the King of heaven will ride upon the clouds, coming down
I'll hit my knees, oh Lord, then sings my soul
I'm going home
If I've got Jesus
I've got all that I could ever need
Take the world away from me
And I'll be ok
If I've got Jesus
There's a hope that's living deep inside
A joy that I could never hide
And a safe place to fall
If I've got Jesus
I got it all
If I've got Jesus
I got it all
Mmm...
Mmm...
