“Only Jesus Alone”

from Isaac Chua

The world was broken

Sin entered in

Death and destruction

Surrounded within

But God did not choose

To leave us alone

He sent His Son

Jesus Christ to atone

Jesus

Jesus

The way, the truth, and the life

Only Jesus alone.

Jesus came to this earth

Fully God fully man

He walked as one of us

So on Him we could depend

His sacrifice on the cross

Paid the price once and for all

So now we are free

Forgiven evermore

Jesus calls us to follow Him

Obeying and trusting

He brings healing and joy

With peace surpassing understanding

Amen.

Isaac and I became acquainted as pastors serving in the Great Plains United Methodist Conference. Today he is the pastor of the Wellington Methodist Church in Wellington, Kansas.

I love that Isaac composed his OMG as lyrics to a song. He has never performed this song with anyone – until now. This is the premiere! Click on the video window below to listen.

In the first stanza we find that “The world was broken . . . But God did not choose to leave us alone.” Jesus, “fully God, fully man,” was sent as the atoning remedy to our sins. The result is freedom and forgiveness. And by following him in obedience and trust, Jesus “brings healing and joy with peace . . . .”

Perhaps Isaac’s song will give the gospel a hearing with those who would otherwise ignore it.
