Big Daddy Weave's song "Only Jesus" is a worshipful declaration of the believer's desire to make Jesus the sole focus of life. The lyrics acknowledge the inadequacy of human words to describe God, while confessing the distractions of the world. The song expresses weariness with anything that competes with Christ and a longing to surrender fully to Him. It celebrates Jesus as the Son of God who came to destroy sin and become the way to salvation. The repeated refrain emphasizes that only Jesus satisfies the heart, and the closing verses pray for transformation so that Christ alone is seen in the believer's life.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Who could ever find the words
To describe the Indescribable
Limited vocabulary falls
So short of depicting You, God
Yet I'm distracted, the things
Of this world threaten to pull me apart
But in Your mercy You hear
The cry of my heart
Only Jesus, only Jesus
Lord, I'm tired of all the rest
When my heart knows You are best
Only Jesus, only Jesus
A Son of God and Son of Man who
Came to destroy the work of sin
And it's work in me was crushed when
You became the way for me
Help me surrender and stop pretending
That I can live on my own
I'll find who I am wrapped up in You alone
Only Jesus, only Jesus
Lord, I'm tired of all the rest
When my heart knows You are best
Only Jesus
Come and change, Lord
Rearrange every part of me
Until You are all that can be seen
Come, be seen in me
Only Jesus, only Jesus
Lord, I'm tired of all the rest
When my heart knows You are the very best
Only Jesus
I'm tired of all the rest
When my heart knows You are the very best
Only Jesus, only Jesus
Only Jesus, only Jesus, only Jesus
