Look only unto Jesus

And you will only see

Everything you’d ever want

And everything you’ll ever need

Some trust in chariots and horses, people, places, things

Skin tones and genders and nationalities

Blood lines, DNA, ancestor family tree

Look unto verse 28 of Galatians chapter 3

Bank accounts and businesses

Latest technology

Accomplishments, traditions, distinguished pedigree

Corporate ladders, statuses, Theology degrees

Look unto verse 8 of Philippians 3

When we look unto those earthly things

To satisfy our needs

To connect us, represent us

To fulfill our hopes and dreams

We can be let down

And even suffer from anxiety

True life is found in Christ alone

The King, the Hope of Glory

When our sins were washed away

So were all of those earthly needs

We died with Him, raised to new life

Seated in the Heavenlies

Who we were no longer lives

It’s Christ who lives in we

We aren’t related by the flesh

We have a brand new history

The blood of Christ has done the work

He is our only Peace

The barrier destroyed

Do we still have hostility?

Are we leaning on the things that just don’t matter in the end?

Do we need someone to look like us to truly call them friend?

Do we identify and find our worth in fleshly things that we can see?

Is this why Jesus died for us?

Oh no. Surely that can’t be.

He created in Himself

ONE new humanity

His fullness fills us now

Glorious Divinity

Let’s champion our Oneness

Cuz in Christ we’re family

Spirit, soul, and body

There’s only One, you see?

He broke the curse and gave us Grace

To live by, not the law

It’s perfected in our weakness

Just ask the Apostle Paul

United we will stand

But divided we will fall

Look only unto Jesus

He is our all in all

When we all look unto Him

We see what each other sees

Perspectives, understanding

All come into clarity

Relating to each other

Yeah it’s possible and simple

When we all look unto Him

Who rebuilt US to be His temple

Look only unto Jesus

Who brings us to unity

Who was before and is to come

And evermore will be

Christ died once for all

And so now we are truly free

To look only unto Jesus

Our One Reality
