"The Only Thing that's Good in Me is Jesus"

Recorded by Michael English

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

‘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’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

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
