Point of Grace's song "Only Jesus" is a contemporary Christian ballad that acknowledges the depth of human brokenness and sin, from broken promises and lies to addiction and terminal illness. The lyrics pose rhetorical questions about what can cleanse, heal, and forgive such pain, answering emphatically that only Jesus can. The song emphasizes human inadequacy and the need for divine grace, pointing to the cross as the source of redemption. It offers hope and comfort to those who feel stained or beyond repair, reminding listeners that God's love through Christ is sufficient for every failure and hurt.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
A sister breaks a promise, a leader tells a lie
A wife tells her husband it only happened just one time
A man knows it wasn�??t innocent how he came upon his wealth
A preacher looks in the mirror says �??how can I ever face myself?�?�
What kind of water can wash this stain?
What kind of heart can heal this kind of pain?
What kind of love can forgive me this?
Only Jesus
A first love teenage heartbreak, a child that�??s never found
A family loses everything and their house burns down
An addict hits rock bottom, the cook becomes a quits
A doctor tells his patient he�??s only got three months to live
What kind of water can sew that rain?
What kind of heart can heal this common pain?
What kind of love can comfort us?
Our father knew us well, long before we came to be
He knew we need the garden, He knew He couldn�??t come clean
So He set a purpose in us to walk the earth
We walk to feel what we feel and free us from all the problems
What kind of water can wash this stain?
What kind of heart can heal this kind of pain?
What kind of love but Jesus?
Only Jesus
Only Jesus
Only Jesus
Only Jesus
