The Only Thing Songtext
von Ronnie Freeman

I heard someone say the other day
They′d seen in me true love displayed
Blessed by something I had done for them
No sooner did they speak those words
I found myself somehow disturbed
Uneasy as I took their compliment
Because I know the heart inside this man
And I know the truth of who I am

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that′s good in me is Jesus
I've lived long enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
If you could walk the hallways of my heart
And see things as they really are
I wonder if you might be surprised


Seeing faded walls of pride and fear
And rooms I′ve filled with faithless tears
And the corner where I′ve stood in compromise

Oh, but you've seen the work His grace has done
And you know just how far I′ve come

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that′s good in me is Jesus
I've lived long enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that′s good in me is Jesus
And in a thousand years
When the dust of this world clears
And I look back on my life
And see in perfect light

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
I know me well enough to know
The only thing that′s good in me is Jesus
