Only God
by Buddy Greene

Album: Grace For the Moment

I had tried all my life to be a good man
I had convinced everyone but myself
Where deep inside there should have been light
There was only darkness
And where there was only room for myself
There should have been someone else

Left to my own devices I built an empty mansion
A life of accomplishments and altruistic deeds
But living alone in my stately home
Brought only sadness
For I needed love and I needed joy
But they were not mine to give

Chorus
For only God can give us His righteousness
Only God can give us His peace and rest
Only God can give us His perfect love
Only God can save us from all our sins
Only God can give us the strength to win
Only God can give us His perfect love

Now I'm not alone since my empty home
was filled with gladness
I'm learning to trust my God and His love
And not myself
And though now and then I stumble and sin
My God forgives me
Reminding me still that my futile will
Is nothing without Him.

Repeat chorus
