Mixed-up, broken-hearted
Your life deep in sin
Nowhere could you find an answer
To give peace within
Once, you sought an answer
From a guru in the East
You think you've found Nirvana
But, it looks like you're deceased
Only in Jesus is the answer to be found
Only in Jesus are your feet on solid ground
Then you tried some booze and sex
Marijuana, LSD
But, no success did you achieve
No meaning did you see
Then you tried philosophy
The occult, astrology
But perfect peace and freedom
Satan could not guarantee
Only in Jesus will the 'free' be really free
Only in Jesus -- for you he died on Calvary
Once you thought of suicide
As being the greatest thrill
But, a small voice deep within you said
'There's hope, real hope, for you still'
So your life was empty
And you had no place to go
Only Jesus Christ can set
Your face and heart aglow
Only in Jesus will you reach that golden shore
Only in Jesus will God give you more and more
So, when Jesus saves you
Your whole life will rearrange
He'll wash away your sin and shame
And bring a brand new change
Only in Jesus
Right now
