Seven years ago, I wrote a song entitled “Only You.” I revised it a few times and shared it with Bob Paster, worship leader at our church at the time. He used it in a Sunday service and sent a recording to me.
Please take time to listen to Bob and the CrossView Church praise team lead the congregation in worship with “Only You.” I’ve included lyrics below. Thanks for joining them in praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
ONLY YOU
Words and Music by Lynn Lilja, Copyright 2023
Verse 1: Fill my hungry heart in every way
Quench my thirsty soul every day
Lord, I feel so far away from everything you are
Fill my hungry heart with only you.
Verse 2: Help me have a longing not to boast
All the vain things that charm me most
Lord, I sacrifice them all to everything you are
Fill my selfish soul with only you.
Chorus: Only You, Lord Jesus, only You
Only You, only You
Only You, Lord Jesus, only You
I give everything I am to only You.
Verse 3: Tell me why I feel so self-content
Complacency! Now I repent
I pour out contempt on everything that comes from pride
Fill my broken life with only You.
(Chorus)
Verse 4: There is only One who reconciles
I'm Your prized possession, Your child
What could I desire that's more than everything You are?
Fill my hungry heart with only You.
(Chorus)
