Only Jesus

Who do I turn to when all roads seem closed by sin and sorrow, doubts and horrors… Only Jesus! – Quote by Poet Only Jesus knows my heart He knows how I feel and when I hurt He knows my thoughts and my dreams He understands the many worries inside me Only Jesus knows my hopes He knows how I wish that I was a better person He knows my darkest dread and all my discouragements He understands the things that make me feel so weak, so frail Like a dandelion – dressed in so many fragile seeds… As if just a breath could scatter each inspiration, every belief All the joy that beats out a rhythm in my chest All the wonder that makes me forget the past’s regret Only Jesus knows my destiny He knows what has been and what will be The good and bad – the happy and sad The whisper of peace that inspires my faith The song of praise that brings light to His grace He knows all my finest ideas, the ones that erase Each doubt, every fear… replacing the shadows With light that pours out a sense of gentle quiet Blessings so alive, so admirable, so enlightening Only Jesus has the power, the strength To bring elation to my spirit, pleasure that is brilliant Wonders so alive and vibrant they feel like the Son Shining hope, faith and love – across the spirit, Into the feelings, where there is such a need for Him The King of kings – the prince of peace – the redeemer The reason I believe… His light shines through every pain Freeing me from worry, despair and dread… everything All the darkness of sin that has been in the past, The anxiety that colors my life in shadows of doubt The reminders that He is… the only reason I can feel Like there is a better day, a brighter way – and I pray He will never leave me… He will always abide with me! Only Jesus… sighs, sings, smiles my breathless heart The heart who is filled with a love, a light, the insight That comes to life with the knowing… in my soul, His love, His spirit, His joy is flowing and growing With every passing moment, ONLY JESUS… reveals The wonder of a peace that is more beautiful than… … any hope, dream or fantasy! Only Jesus… holds the key that will open the heart … to believe in Him without a doubt With the spark of a faith that never dies out! 7/25/22
