The Only Thing Good in Me

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

Oh, but you’d see the work His grace has done
You’d 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 I'll see in perfect light

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 You, Lord
The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus
I know only well enough to know
The only thing that’s good in me, yeah
The only thing that’s good in me

I know only well enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that’s good in me
