Music Monday: Only Jesus

Today’s song is “Only Jesus” by Casting Crowns:

Make it count, leave a mark, build a name for yourself
Dream your dreams, chase your heart, above all else
Make a name the world remembers
But all an empty world can sell is empty dreams
I got lost in the light but it was up to me
To make a name the world remembers
But Jesus is the only name to remember

And I, I don’t want to leave a legacy
I don’t care if they remember me
Only Jesus
And I, I’ve only got one life to live
I’ll let every second point to Him
Only Jesus

All the kingdoms built, all the trophies won
Will crumble into dust when it’s said and done
‘Cause all that really matters
Did I live the truth to the ones I love
Was my life the proof that there is only One
Whose name will last forever

Jesus is the only name x2
Jesus is the only name to remember
Jesus is the only name x2
Jesus is the only name to remember

Jesus is the only name to remember
I don’t want to leave a legacy
I don’t care if they remember me
Only Jesus
Only Jesus

Music Monday: The Blessing

Today’s song is the title track from the superb debut album from John Waller, “The Blessing”. If you listen carefully, you might be able to identify the other well-known Christian singer joining him on this song…

Let it be said of us…while we walked among the living
Let it be said of us…by the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us…that we lived to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us…that we gave to reach the dying
Let it be said of us…by the fruit we leave behind
Let it be said of us…that our legacy is blessing for life

This day you set life, you set death right before us,
This day every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us…that our hearts belonged to Jesus
Let it be said of us…that we spoke the words of life
Let it be said of us…that our heritage is blessing for life

For your Kingdom, for our Children
For the sake of every nation
