[Verse 1]
I am nothing without you Lord
Only you know my life Lord
Oh you have seen me through the low
And you never let me go
[Verse 2]
When I had no strength you carried me
When I couldn't see you guided me
Through every season, through every storm
You were right there all along
[Chorus]
Only you, bring me joy
Only you, know my weakness
Only you, hear my cry
Only you, never leave me
Only you, give me peace
Only you, restore my soul
Only you, are my God
Only you and you alone
[Post-Chorus]
Only you, only you
Jesus, only you
Only you, only you
There is none like you
Only you, only you
You are all I need
All my life, all my praise
Jesus, you are all I need
[Verse 3]
When I was lost you came and found me
When I was broken you surrounded me
You turned my morning into dancing
Put a new song inside of me
When the road was hard you made a way
When I was afraid you gave me faith
Though I walk through the darkest valley
I know you are with me every day
[Chorus]
Only you, bring me joy
Only you, know my weakness
Only you, hear my cry
Only you, never leave me
Only you, give me peace
Only you, restore my soul
Only you, are my God
Only you and you alone
[Post-Chorus]
Only you, only you
Jesus, only you
Only you, only you
There is none like you
Only you, only you
You are all I need
All my life, all my praise
Jesus, you are all I need
[Bridge]
Oh, only you, oh
Only you, only you
Oh, only you, oh
Only you, only you
My healer, keeper, my keeper
My father, my savior, oh
[Verse 4]
If I have you, I have everything
If I have you, I have everything
When the world is gone, you'll remain
Jesus, forever you will reign
If I lose it all, I still have you
If I have no words, my heart knows you
Through the fire, through the rain
You are faithful, you remain
[Chorus]
Who gives me strength? Only you
Who gives me peace? Only you
Who hears my prayer? Only you
Who will never leave me? Only you
Who is my home? Only you
Who is my way? Only you
Jesus, only you
Jesus, only you
[Outro]
Only you, only you
Jesus, only you
Only you, only you
There is none like you
Only you, only you
You are all I need
All my life, all my praise
Jesus, you are all I need
Only you, only you
Through the valleys, through the hills, only you
You have kept me, you keep me still, only you
Yesterday, today, forever
All my life, all my praise
Jesus, you are all I need
I am nothing without you Lord
Only you know my life Lord
Every breath that I breathe, every song that I sing
Only you, only you
Jesus, only you
Only you
Song Meaning
Victor Ivyic builds "Only you" around a single repeated claim: God alone is enough. The song starts from a confession, "I am nothing without you Lord," and then looks back over hard seasons. When the singer "had no strength," God carried them. When they "couldn't see," God guided. The testimony covers "every season, through every storm."
The chorus stacks short statements that each begin with the same two words: only you bring joy, know my weakness, hear my cry, never leave me, restore my soul. A post-chorus adds "There is none like you," and the bridge piles up names: "My healer, keeper... My father, my savior." Verse three borrows imagery from the Psalms. "You turned my morning into dancing" recalls Psalm 30:11, and "Though I walk through the darkest valley / I know you are with me every day" tracks Psalm 23:4.
Later the song strips things back further. "If I have you, I have everything," the singer says, and then, "If I lose it all, I still have you." The final chorus turns the statements into questions ("Who gives me strength? Only you"), so the lyric finishes as a spoken answer. Psalm 62:1 and Psalm 73:26 carry the same trust.
