FCF Original Song: Jesus, Only You




Those who were with us this past Sunday were able to enjoy firsthand a new song written and arranged by the FCF Worship Team. As I shared at the end of the services, I believe that the Scripture reveals that God desires new expressions of songs for His glory. After the tragic, difficult week we had as a church, it was absolutely humbling and tranformative to hear this new song for the glory of Christ and the good of the church. A special thanks to FCF Worship Leader, Doug Nigh, Ted Casper, and Allyson Vance for taking some healing words and making them into an amazing worship song. I so look forward to singing it again!
 
Here are the lyrics to this new song, Jesus, Only You
 
Verse 1
When life is unclear
and darkness comes
Your grace is the light
that outshines the sun
 
In times of unknown
in life's mysteries
I know I can't wonder
What's meant to be
 
 
Pre-Chorus
I should run to what is known
Race to what is true
Lift my cry to heaven, Lord
'cause Jesus, only You
 
 
Chorus
Can lift my head
dry my tears
Your love drowns out my sorrow
It conquers all my fears
 
You're my Comforter, my Savior
Healer of my heart
The Lord of all creation
and You've loved me from the start
 
Your truth is salvation
Your mercies ever new
In joy and suffering
I will praise you Jesus, Only You
 
 
Verse 2
When night brings me heartache
I'm deep in despair
When storms rail against me
I know you're there
 
You bring joy at daybreak
Your peace I will claim
I'll shout on in victory
I'll praise your name
 
 


Pre-Chorus
I should run to what is known
Race to what is true
Lift my cry to heaven, Lord
'cause Jesus, only You
 
Chorus
Can lift my head
dry my tears
Your love drowns out my sorrow
It conquers all my fears
 
You're my Comforter, my Savior
Healer of my heart
The Lord of all creation
and You've loved me from the start
 
Your truth is salvation
Your mercies ever new
In joy and suffering
I will praise you Jesus, Only You
