JesusYou Alone
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My first love my first love,
The secret place and highest praise
Shall be yours shall be yours
To Your throne i'll bring devotion
May it be the sweetest sound
Lord this heart is reaching for You now
So I'll set my sights upon You
Set my life upon Your praise
Never looking to another way
(second time)
You alone will be my passion
Jesus You will be my song
You will find me longing after You
Day and night I lift my eyes
To seek You to seek you
Hungry for a glimpse of You
In glory in glory
The lyrics to Tim Hughes's song "Jesus You Alone" convey a simple but powerful message that declares Jesus as the singer's first love and Lord.

The singer then proceeds to emphasize the exclusive nature of the relationship, stating that Jesus will be their secret place and the highest praise will be His alone. The lyrics convey the desire to bring devotion to Jesus, and the importance of keeping one's sights on Him and never looking to another way. The second half of the song emphasizes Jesus' role as the singer's passion and song, with a longing to seek Him day and night.
The overall tone of the song is one of adoration, reverence, and devotion towards Jesus.

Harry Kim
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Harry Kim
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (Sept. 5), we sang Lord Jesus, You Shall Be My Song as the Hymn of the Day. It is #808 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. It was written and composed by Les Petites Soeurs de Jesus and L'Arche Community. The words were translated by Stephen Somerville. It is set to the tune, LES PETITES SOEURS.
