Jesus only is our message, Jesus all our theme shall be; We will lift up Jesus ever, Jesus only will we see. |
| Jesus only, Jesus ever, Jesus all in all we sing, Savior, Sanctifier, and Healer, Glorious Lord and coming King. |

Jesus is our Sanctifier, Saving us from self and sin, And with all His Spirit’s fulness, Filling all our hearts within. |

Jesus only is our Healer, All our sicknesses He bare, And His risen life and fulness, All His members still may share. |

Jesus only is our Power, He the gift of Pentecost; Jesus, breathe Thy pow’r upon us, Fill us with the Holy Ghost. |

And for Jesus we are waiting, List’ning for the Advent Call; But ’twill still be Jesus only, Jesus ever, all in all. |

The Christian and Missionary Alliance was established in 1887 by Brother A. B. Simpson. It was an alliance of Christian missionaries that sent out its members to preach the gospel. Brother Simpson was knowledgeable concerning spiritual matters. He wrote hymns such as "I am crucified with Christ, / And the cross hath set me free" (Hymns, #482), "Jesus only, Jesus ever" (Hymns, #511), and "O Lord, breathe Thy Spirit on me, / Teach me how to breathe Thee in" (Hymns, #255). His hymns are deep, and they contain spiritual experiences and spiritual values. His co-workers also had some spiritual weight, one of whom was the missionary John Woodbury, who along with his younger sister established Shou Chen Chapel in Shanghai.

This song reminds me of my early years as a Christian when I was first taught it. Yet it it still relevant to every message we preach be it a posperity, holiness, or salvation. I was reminded of this song today by this Scripture that keeps cominig to my heart. John 12:20-23. V21 in particular says 'Sir, we would like to see Jesus'
I pray that all those trying to find Jesus today will see Him. And one day we shall all see Him in person. Sis Nike I read your comment. Just to encourage you, keep on preaching Jesus. Where His presence is absence, the Bible say we should not be. Thank God the celebrant invited Jesus to his wedding when wine ran out. And as wine will run out one day in every marriage, every married couple better make sure that Jesus is invited.

This song reminds me that Jesus should be central to my life. Once a course mate accused me of being 'too Christian'. She was angry that I brought Jesus into everything. Not deliberate but naturally, when we live the life that we should now live in Christ who loved us so much and died for us, we can't but have him as the theme of everything, He will have to be our only message.
