Nobody But Jesus
Kelly Price Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who was the one when I didn't know my name?
Before I was born he loved me just the same
Who was the one who took me by the hand
And kept me from all danger the way a father can

Who was the one to lead me along the way?
When I didn't know the path for me to take
Nobody

[Chorus]
Nobody but Jesus
Nobody but Jesus
Nobody but Jesus
Nobody but Jesus
Jesus is the one!

Who was the one to place the sun so high
And hang the stars in space to decorate the sky
Oh who was the one to die on Calvary
With nails in his hands and nails in his feet

Who took the sting from death and victory from the grave?
Then went on back to heaven and He's gonna return one day.





[Chorus]
