Only Jesus - Brian Johnson

For me, for me, only Jesus. After attending the Bethel Music praise and worship night, this song has been repeating in my mind. Only Jesus. This song reminds me of one of the greatest doctrines in the Bible, “Solo Cristo, ”through Christ alone. Jesus is the only one who brings salvation to redeem us, doing so through the cross (Acts 4:12). He is the center of the Bible (Luke24:27) and the center of our lives (Galatians 2:20). There are many things that attract us away from our relationship with God but those things can never satisfy us, only Jesus can. He is the one who can bring joy (Roman 15:13) and long-lasting peace (John 14:27) in our hearts.

You're my constant; in the chaos You're my compass; when the road is long You're my portion; never failing For me, only Jesus Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You The riches of this world Could never satisfy Let my heart want for only You You're my center; should I wander You're my future; and You redeem my past Every moment; and then forever For me, only Jesus For me, only Jesus Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You The riches of this world Could never satisfy Let my heart want for only You Oh Jesus Let my heart want for only You For me, for me; only Jesus For me, for me; only Jesus For me, for me; only Jesus For me, for me; only Jesus Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You The riches of this world Could never satisfy Let my heart want for only You Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You Let my heart want for nothing But You, just You The riches of this world Could never satisfy Let my heart want for only You Oh Jesus! Let my heart want for only You

The musical arrangement of this version simply uses an acoustic guitar along with the deep and charming voice of Brian Johnson. Matching with the lyrics, it visualizes a proclamation from our sincere hearts telling Jesus that we desire His presence in our lives in every moment and that we put him as our utmost priority in all our decisions. The chord progression gives space for meditation and simple reflection to have Jesus in our lives and think of the things that hinder our relationship with Him. If we put these words into action, then our faith can be steadfast again, as we sing the beautiful words, “Oh Jesus! Let my heart want for only You!”
