[Verse 1]
Lost in my wilderness
In all Your tenderness
You found me hiding in the night
Reached out Your gentle hand
I did not understand
You spoke a word and there was light
Said You've only just begun
And if You've only just begun
What can I do
I can't explain it
But my heart is beating faster
So this how Heaven feels
Jesus, Your love I can't deny
I'm so completely
Whole-hearted head over heels
And I only just met You
I only just met You
You give me galaxies
Wash me in salty seas
It's almost more than I can bear
There's not a single fear
It cannot touch me here
I can’t remember who I was
And You've only just begun
And if You've only just begun
Oh, what can I do
Only gets better, only gets better
Only gets better from here
Only gets better, only gets better
Only gets better from here
For such a mystery
It makes so much sense to me
And I only just met You
Only just, only just met You
Only gets better from here
Only just, only just met You
Only gets better from here
Only gets better, only gets better
Only gets better from here
Only gets better, only gets better
Only gets better from here
Only Just Met You
Song Meaning
Brandon Heath describes new faith with the language of a sudden crush in "Only Just Met You," refusing to make the experience sound more measured or theological than it actually felt — "I can't explain it, but my heart is beating faster... I'm so completely whole-hearted head over heels, and I only just met You." The comparison isn't irreverent; it's the most accurate description available for something genuinely new and disorienting.
"Lost in my wilderness... You found me hiding in the night" keeps the before-state specific rather than vague, and "You spoke a word and there was light" echoes creation's own opening line, treating this personal encounter as its own small act of creation. "There's not a single fear, it cannot touch me here, I can't remember who I was" names a real, immediate change in condition rather than a gradual one.
The repeated "only gets better from here" keeps the song forward-looking rather than nostalgic about the initial moment — the newness itself isn't treated as the peak experience, just the beginning of one.
