Only a look at Jesus,
O, soul bowed down with care,
He has promised to defend me
and He’ll, all your burdens share.
Only a look at Jesus, He is merciful and true, Through storm and through clouds and through trials He’ll lead, he’ll lead you safely, safely through.
All:
Only a look, only a look
Turn ye away from sin
One look, one look will bring
Salvation
Eternal, Eternal life to win.
“Only A Look Lyrics” | as Written by- Thomas Whitfield
by- Thomas Whitfield & The Whitfield Company
Verse:
Only a look at Jesus,
also bowed down with care.
He has promised to defend me
and He’ll, all your burdens share.
Chorus:
Just one look can move a mountain.
Just one look turns nights to day.
Sopranos:Just
Altos: Just
All: one look at Jesus, can save eternal life to win.
Bridge
When we see Jesus face to face,
When we see Him who saved us by grace,
it will be glorious (to see Jesus face to face),
it’ll be victorious (and to thank Him for his saving grace),
It will be glorious (to see the man named Jesus who hung, bled and died for me),
It’ll be victorious (I want to say thank You, Lord for Your victory).
When we see Him, when we see Him,
then we’ll know…
Vamp:
We shall, oh we shall.
We shall if we live right, we shall.
Ending:
We shall be just like Him.
Hope you enjoyed the music. Until we meet again, “Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.”
Your friend in Christ,
