Only Jesus

Àëüáèíà Êóìèðîâà
Neither sincerity of our creeds,
nor the achievements of righteous gain,
even the most virtuous deeds,
cannot eternity ever attain.
 
                Only Jesus, God in the flesh,
                if in His name, repentant, we pray,
                can give us life again afresh,
                life, we cannot imagine today…

All of us, all, are carrying sin,
all with the virus of death are conceived.
Death from the time of Adam has been,
people have suffered and they have grieved.
 
                Only Jesus, God in the flesh,
                if in His name, repentant, we pray,
                can give us life again afresh,
                life, we cannot imagine today…

When on the cross sacrifice was done,
God didn’t spare His wrath and His rod.
Heavenly Father, revealed in His Son,
gave us this visible image of God.
 
                Only Jesus, God in the flesh,
                if in His name, repentant, we pray,
                can give us life again afresh,
                life, we cannot imagine today…

Christ had absorbed all our wrongs,
taking the punishment for our crimes,
and for this reason, all glory belongs
only to Jesus by right in all times.
 
                Only Jesus, God in the flesh,
                if in His name, repentant, we pray,
                can give us life again afresh,
                life, we cannot imagine today…

Not our righteousness, not our worth,
but the obedience, even to death…
Jesus removed from his children the curse,
the Holy Spirit gave a new breath.
 
                Only Jesus, God in the flesh,
                if in His name, repentant, we pray,
                can give us life again afresh,
                life, we cannot imagine today…
