Piano Recording:

I want to share a hymn with you that I wrote. It’s called “Only You.” I posted audio of me playing it on the keyboard and the piano. I’m not sure that the audio on the piano recording is clear, so I also played it on the keyboard. And I posted audio of just the melody line to be sure you can hear it. Please let me know what you think of it. If you click on the title for this post, there will be a comment box at the bottom of the page. I hope you enjoy it! These are the words to the hymn:

Only You
Words and Music by: Lisa A. Weidley

When from the path I’ve strayed
And the waves wash me away,
I will lift my eyes to Him,
He’ll come save me, He’ll forgive.

He’ll come by my side,
Hold me closely, stem the tide
Till I’m safely on the shore
By Your grace, Lord, nothing more.

Only You, Lord,
Only You, Lord,
Can cleanse me from sin,
Give new life within,
And carry me onward.

Down that path I’ll go,
Troubles follow, sorrows grow.
Still I lift my eyes to Thee,
The One who sees me, meets my need.

By Your pow’r I’ll stand,
Safely walking hand in hand;
Though I stumble, though I fall,
You pick me up, yes, stand me tall.

Only You, Lord,
I only need You, Lord;
When my strength has failed,
Your love prevails,
And carries me onward.

When the end draws near,
No more trials, no more fear,
I will lift my eyes to Thee,
Now at last, Lord, You I’ll see.

From Your throne You’ll come,
All the earthly battles done;
You will find me, give me rest
In Your arms, Lord, heaven-blessed.

Only You, Lord,
I only need You, Lord;
At the end of the road
You’ll carry me home,
And I’ll wake in heaven.
