Only Jesus

v1
When the trial comes
And all hope seems lost
I will find my strength
In the mighty cross

(chorus)
Only there
Only Jesus
Only there can i cast my burdens down

Only Him
Only Jesus
Only there is joy in sorrow found

v2
If my love grows cold
And my faith feels lost
I will find my heart
In the healing cross

I heard this song back at a Desiring God Conference, I believe in 2007.

It is a simple song, yet also a strong and real song. Our lives always, ALWAYS point us to Jesus, our hope and our redeemer.

Life gets hard, life brings us through trials. Yet Jesus is always there, carrying us and encouraging us with the truth of the Gospel.

Trials come to test our faith and increase our faith!

1 Peter 1:6-9:
"In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

Rejoice in Jesus in all times. He is working all things for our good and His Glory!
