With God, I am someone. I am significant. I have an eternal perspective. I am whole. I am holy and blameless before my Lord. I am royalty. I am accepted. I am precious. I am unconditionally loved. I am cherished. I am adored. I have purpose. I have worth. I am found and sought out. I am chosen. I am forgiven.
On my own, I am a sinner. With Christ, I am a saint who occasionally sins.
On my own, what a wretched woman I am. With Christ, I can stand boldly before the throne of God with confidence.
On my own, my guilt and shame overcome me. With Christ, I am more than a conquerer.
On my own, I lie and wallow in the pit I create for myself. With Christ, I crawl out, and refuse to go back in.
On my own, my pain and regrets are ever before me. With Christ, I press on towards the goal, forgetting what is behind, and choose to go forward by forgiving myself.
I am covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, and therefore, I am a victor and so are you. On our own, we truly are nothing. I love this song and everytime I hear it, it comforts me, and reminds me of who I am and the person that God views me as. Be blessed as you watch it. The lyrics follow.
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
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
