My Jesus My Lifeline
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you more than I've ever known
There's no one quite like you
I'm crying out for your loving
Oh Jesus oh Jesus
I've never known a love like this before
Oh Jesus sweet Jesus
It's all I can do
Sing a song of love to you
I'm searching I'm longing
Please meet me just as you want to
Cause I'll stand here to offer
Offer up this song of love to you
Oh Jesus oh Jesus
I've never known a love like this before
Oh Jesus sweet Jesus
Accept this love I give to you
Oh Jesus oh Jesus
I've never known a love like this before
Oh Jesus sweet Jesus
Accept this love I give to you
It's all I can do
Let's just bring our love to the Lord
Na na na
So much love to give
Do do do
Sweet Jesus sweet Jesus come to me
My Jesus
Oh Jesus oh Jesus
I've never known a love like this before
Oh Jesus sweet Jesus
Accept this love I give to you
The song "My Jesus My Lifeline" by Tim Hughes is a passionate expression of the singer's need for and love for Jesus Christ. The lyrics reveal a deep longing for the personal and compassionate presence of Jesus, an unquenchable thirst for a love that is unparalleled, and a profound desire to offer up to Jesus what little expression of love he can give.
The first and second lines of the song, "My Jesus my lifeline, I need you more than I've ever known" speak of the depth of the singer's dependency on Jesus for survival, emphasizing the fact that he has come to a point where there is no one else he can turn to but Jesus. The line "There's no one quite like you" acknowledges the uniqueness and incomparability of Jesus, with no one else able to offer what he offers. The singer continues to call out to Jesus in the following lines "I'm crying out for your loving" expressing a deep desire for the comforting and assuring presence of Jesus.
The chorus emphasizes the fact that the singer has never known a love like that of Jesus before, and he implores Jesus to accept the love he offers. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus after which the singer affirms that all he can do is "bring our love to the Lord", culminating in an exquisite expression of gratitude and love for Jesus.
