Only Christ can change the heart, only He can save each soul,
Only when Christ dwells within, can a person be made whole.
Only Christ can transform lives, only He can break sin’s hold,
Only Christ can promise us eternal happiness untold.

Yes, only Christ, the Saviour, can abundantly supply,
Strength for each and every day, help for every anguished cry.
Only Christ, can offer hope, even when no hope there seems,
Only Christ, who’ll soon appear, holds the answer to your dreams.

So, don’t put your faith in men, nor the plans that they employ,
But just in Him who offers lasting peace and inner joy.
Don’t cling to earthly treasure, nor this earth that’s soon to end,
But instead, take hold of Him, who soon broken lives will mend.

He’s waiting, friend, He’s waiting, and He’s longing for your call,
Those words that tug His heartstrings, “Yes Lord, I surrender all.”
Our Lord knows it’s only then He can do the best for you,
And beginning, He will say, “Now! There’s nothing I can’t do.”

He’ll then take the self within, and change how you’ve been thinking,
You’ll find things you want in life, with His will soon are linking.
Then you’ll find that things you did, you no longer want to do,
That you’re lost in others’ lives, not those things you sought for you.

Now only Christ, only He, that miracle can achieve,
The Alpha and Omega, who’ll repentant ones receive.
Just let the Lord who beckons, a miracle work in you,
Let Him, who fashioned earth, show there’s nothing He can’t do.

Let the canvas of your life, feel the Master Artist’s brush,
Let Him, who painted flowers, colour your life just as lush,
Let every heavenly stroke, each divinely moistened bristle,
Make the life you live on earth, His picturesque epistle.
