I peeked last night on FMF‘s Facebook page to see what word Kate has chosen for this Friday in our Advent Season and I fell asleep humming this old song.
Only You
Can make this world seem right
Only You
Can make the darkness bright
Only You and You alone
Can bless me like You do
And fill my heart with love for only You
Jesus only you
Can make this change in me
For it’s true
You are my destiny
And when You hold my heart I understand
The blessings that You do
You’re my dream come true
My one and only You
O! only You
Can make this change in me.
Jesus, it’s so true
You are my destiny
When you hold my heart, I understand
The blessings that You do
Jesus, You’re my dream come true and my one and only You.
Amen?
Love this, Susan! And the photo–pure joy!
pure joy!
Love it!
I thought you would!
I’ve never heard the song before–it’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Anita, it’s a secular song – Louis Armstrong, from way back! I replaced a few words!!!
Love it! And I love how you changed the words to fit just right! 🙂
Bettie – and the words are so perfect as a love song to Jesus!
I love this!
I did too and it was fun. I like FMF to be fun and a challenge. Not stressful. LOL
Susan, this is wonderful & I love it for so many reasons! Mom loves big band so I knew the song from her but … You changed the lyrics which made this such a fun post. And the photo .. this post is pure joy! xo
I know – that image is pure joy and delight. This photographer on Unsplash has so many great images!!!
Only Jesus!
The One, The Only Jesus!
Yes Susan, It’s only Jesus
Only. Always. All Ways. Jesus.
Louis Armstrong’s music – one of my favorites! Yes! Only Jesus! And what a beautiful song to sing to him. So glad you went to bed humming it! Fun, sweet, true share!
Glad you came over!
No other name.
I just love that this has been the resounding comment. ONLY JESUS!!!
What a great post. Love that it made you think of this song.
you know the song and you are young!!!
The ultimate upgrade of a classic song…well done, Susan!
Upgraded, indeed!
This picture brought such a smile to my face! And the song…I’ve been playing it all morning! Merry Christmas to you!
Yes, Yes, and Yes. Thanks Crystal!!!
Susan, I had never heard of this song. I love jazz so this is a beautiful combination of creatively pointing to Jesus. Music has a way of hiding truths in our hearts!
Even the rocks…
