The Only Thing

in•teg•ri•ty- n.1 The quality or state of being complete; unbroken condition; 2 the quality of being unimpaired; perfect condition; 3 the quality or state of being of sound moral principle; uprightness, honesty, and sincerity

I've heard this song before, but for some reason tonight as it was playing I HEARD it. I realized its truth in my life recently. I find so many times in my life that I live just to please others and receive that all so wonderful compliment. But what am I doing when nobody is watching? What's my integrity doing then? Like the song says.. "I know the truth of who I am..." and all I can say is THANK GOD for saving me from all that I am and renewing this creature with new life.. for touching this unclean man, for going to the depths of damnation to save me, for calling me out of darkness... for going there.



Only Thing by Ronnie Freeman
I heard someone say the other day
They'd seen in me true love displayed
Blessed by something I had done for them
No sooner had they said these words
I found myself somehow disturbed
Uneasy as I took their compliment
Cause I know the heart inside this man
I know the truth of who I am...

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
I know me well enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus


If you could walk the hallways of my heart
And see things as they really are
I wonder if you might be surprised
Seeing faded walls of pride and fear
Rooms I've filled with faithless tears
And corners where I've stood in compromise
But you'd see the work His grace has done
You'd know just how far I've come

In a thousand years
When the dust of this world clears
And I look back on my life
And see in perfect light

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
I know me well enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
I know me well enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
