Jesus You 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 capture the essence of true devotion to Jesus. The opening line, "Jesus You alone shall be my first love, my first love," sets the tone for the song. It speaks of a deep love and commitment to Jesus, above all else. The song reflects the longing of the heart to be closer to Jesus, to worship Him with the highest praise and in the secret place. It's a declaration of devotion, a surrender of life to Jesus.
The second verse of the song reaffirms this devotion. It speaks of setting aside all other distractions and focusing fully on Jesus. "You alone will be my passion, Jesus You will be my song," declares the singer. This passionate declaration of love reflects the heart's desire to pursue Jesus and to experience more of His goodness and grace. The final part of the song speaks of lifting up our eyes to seek Jesus day and night, hungry for a glimpse of Him in all His glory.

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.
