Jesus Culture's song "Only Jesus" is a passionate worship anthem that centers on the preeminence of Christ. The lyrics express a deep longing to know Jesus above all else, declaring that He alone satisfies and is worthy of exaltation. The song emphasizes the core gospel message of Christ crucified and risen, and the believer's identification with His death and resurrection. It conveys a desire for personal humility so that Jesus may be lifted high, and a yearning for revival in the church. The overall tone is one of surrender, devotion, and proclamation of the power of God's salvation.

There's an ache inside bones
This desire that I may know
Only You, Jesus Christ, crucified
You're the name above all others
On the throne above all thrones
Only You, Jesus Christ, be lifted high
I don't need anything else but You, Jesus
I don't want anything else but to make You known
I'll be low and You be lifted
You will be exalted only Jesus, only Jesus
You're the hope of all mankind
Those who seek will always find
You alone, Jesus Christ, satisfy
There's a longing on the earth
For revival in Your church
Only You, Jesus Christ, glorified
Only You, Jesus Christ, be glorified
I don't need anything else but You, Jesus
I don't want anything else but to make You known
I'll be low and You be lifted
You will be exalted only Jesus, only Jesus
Only Jesus, only Jesus
Oh, be lifted high
This and only this I know
Jesus Christ and Christ alone
Crucified and risen from the grave
Whoever dies is raised with Him
No longer I, but Christ who lives
This is the power of the God who saves
This and only this I know
Jesus Christ and Christ alone
Crucified and risen from the grave
Whoever dies is raised with Him
No longer I, but Christ who lives
This is the power of the God who saves
I don't need anything else but You, Jesus
I don't want anything else but to make You known
I'll be low and You be lifted
You will be exalted only Jesus, only Jesus
This and only this I know
Jesus Christ and Christ alone
Crucified and risen from the grave
Whoever dies is raised with Him
No longer I, but Christ who lives
This is the power of the God who saves
And I don't need anything else but You, Jesus
I don't want anything else but to make You known
I'll be low and You be lifted
You will be exalted only Jesus, only Jesus
Only Jesus, only Jesus
Oh, You will be exalted
Oh, You will be exalted
