ABOUT OUR THEME SONG:
I woke up on July 1st of 2020 with the first two lines of this chorus in my mind. The night before, I had taught our church family about the soon coming kingdom of our Lord, as we were working our way through Jesus’ teaching on prophecy in Matthew 24. It seemed the Holy Spirit was putting these words and this melody in my heart early that morning, even before I was awake and aware of what I was singing.

We had been searching for theme music for Only Jesus 4 Me. I realized that God was giving me a theme song and I began to work with those two lines and pray over ideas until God gave me the rest of the song.

This song tells my story... "I started down this road 40 years ago..." I gave my heart and life to Jesus on December 13, 1981--40 years in a few months. I really struggled with peace, even after trusting Jesus. I had a lot of questions, a lot of doubts. Little by little, those "mysteries unfolded," and answers came. It took over 5 years.

I put together "A Journey of Faith" to try to help others discover the peace that I found--without so much turmoil and years of "coming up empty." I hope you enjoy the song as much as we have enjoyed writing it and producing it. As the producer said, "there is a real party" going on at the end of the song. Exactly! That is how I feel inside when I talk about Jesus. Excited. Free. Full of Peace and Joy. Throw a party for Jesus with us and get excited about who HE is! So many people are hung up in religion. Not me. I am spiritual, but not religious. In love with Jesus, but not all hung up on tradition. "It's NOT tradition, Only Jesus 4 Me."

I am indebted to so many people who have helped make this song what it is. Peter helped arrange it and had some awesome ideas. Diane was assisting me every step of the way... my, my the patience of that lady! The singer, Mike, is just fabulous. The musicians are awesome. We put together the best band we could find and we just love the music they made. I chuckle every time I hear it, it is so much fun. We hope you also feel the same way.

Check out the Soundtracks for this song! You can download the soundtrack (just instrumental) and the sing-along track (with backup vocals) and perform the song for a crowd, or karaoke style just for fun!!! Diane says the instrumental is good house-cleaning or exercising music. It's a fun song and a great message, too! Enjoy it with us.

BTW... If you are new to Bandcamp... You will have multiple options to download the song onto your device. I download WAV files and burn them to a CD, using Windows Media Player, so I can play them in the car. You can download MP3's and other formats. It is really easy. If you aren't sure, there are many help articles on Bandcamp that guide you step by step.

THANK YOU!

P.S. We hope you will download the song and share the link with your friends. All the money from this song will go to help make possible the ministry of "Only Jesus 4 Me." Check out our website www.onlyjesus4me.com and take a spiritual "Journey of Faith" with us to discover truth.

lyrics

ONLY JESUS 4 ME

CHORUS:
Now if you don’t mind,
I’d like to tell ya about the KING OF KINGS;
And if you don’t mind,
I’d like to tell ya about the LORD OF LORDS;
Because I don’t mind and I’ll take the time
to share the Truth that set me free;
It’s all about my LORD and Savior,
Not tradition—“Only Jesus 4 Me!”

VERSE 1:
I started down this road 40 years ago,
What a blessing He’s been to me,
I was tryin’ to find that peace of mind,
But always coming up empty;
Then Jesus came to me, well He rescued me
And put His new song deep in my soul;
Now “Only Jesus 4 Me” is the song I sing,
And He’s a friend who will always be!

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
So much had been said and so much had been read,
But questions lingered that troubled my soul;
I’d been searching for Truth since way back in my youth,
But those mysteries just wouldn’t unfold;
Then in A Journey of Faith, I discovered God’s grace,
And answers settled down deep in my soul;
Now its “Only Jesus 4 Me”—that’s where I’m gonna be,
And I’ll keep telling everyone I know.

CHORUS

TAG:
It’s all about my LORD and Savior,
Not just tradition... “Only Jesus 4 Me!” (Only Jesus 4 Me…)
