Title: “Only Christ” (Verse 1) I was born on the wrong side, broken from the start Building with the ashes of a rebel heart Every breath I borrowed, every dream I chased Fell to dust and darkness, every kingdom erased But You, O God, You saw me, dead and bound in chains You sent Your Son to find me, bearing all my shame He took the curse upon Him, bled upon the tree Only Christ, only Christ could set a sinner free (Chorus) Only Christ, only Christ Only the Perfect can make perfect Only the Holy can be holy Only the Creator can create Only the blood of Jesus Only the cross of Calvary Only Christ can move us From the broken world to eternity We cry: Only Christ! (Verse 2) No prophet, no teacher, no angel from above No effort, no striving, no system, no love No karma, no scales, no second revelation Can open the door to the Father’s salvation Only the Lamb who was slain, only the risen King Only the Word made flesh can make the dead heart sing Only the Spirit who hovered now hovers over me Breathes the life of Jesus and sets the captive free (Chorus) Only Christ, only Christ Only the Perfect can make perfect Only the Holy can be holy Only the Creator can create Only the blood of Jesus Only the cross of Calvary Only Christ can move us From the broken world to eternity We cry: Only Christ! (Bridge – slower, building) Not Moses, not Buddha, not Muhammad’s call Not Joseph, not Watchtower, not Krishna at all Not New Age, not nothing, no power of man Only one name under heaven by which we are saved (Spoken over quiet music) Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (Full band & choir explode) So we bow, we surrender, we fall on our face We receive the gift, the gift of grace We are born again, sealed by the Spirit New creation now, and forever near it (Final Chorus – triumphant) Only Christ, only Christ King of kings and Lord of lords Only Christ, only Christ Yesterday, today, forevermore Only the blood of Jesus Only the cross of Calvary Only Christ has moved us From the broken world to eternity We sing forever: Only Christ! Only Christ! Only Christ! (Outro – soft, intimate) By the grace of God I am what I am And His grace to me has not been in vain Only Christ. Amen.
