Only Thing


I was touched today by this song- it says so much how I feel of my life!
By Ronnie Freeman


Only Thing

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 had they said these words
I found myself somehow disturbed
Uneasy as I took their compliment
Cause I know the heart inside this man
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 know me well 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
Rooms I've filled with faithless tears
And corners where I've stood in compromise
But you'd see the work His grace has done
You'd know just how far I've come
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
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
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
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus


Thank you dear friends for your prayers this week. We have laid our fears and troubles at the feet of Jesus and we rest that HE will show us the way.

That poem says so much, and I can certainly relate to that. Whenever someone compliments me, I am squeamish because I know how true the poem's refrain is.

I didn't realize that Rosalyn had been in the computer. I don't want to speak for her, so I hasten to correct the source. I wrote that comment

So true. I love the line the only thing that's good in me is Jesus. Definitely having Jesus in me is what makes me a better person.
