The Cross and the Crown (Gospel Song)

🎶 Title: “Only Jesus” (Choir Arrangement)

Tempo: Moderate, Worship (≈ 72–80 BPM) Key: C Major (can be transposed)

Verse 1 (Solo or Unison – soft)

What a love that never fails, What a grace that always saves, When I fall, You lift me high, You wipe the teardrops from my eyes.

You took my sin, You bore my shame, You broke the chains in Jesus’ name, No other power can set me free, Only You, Lord, only Thee.

Chorus (Full Choir – harmony build)

Sopranos: Only Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life! Altos: Only Jesus, my Savior, my Light! Tenors & Basses: Peace in the storm, my refuge, my friend, All: Forever and ever, Your love has no end!

Verse 2 (Men unison / Women echo)

Men: The blind now see, the lame now walk, Women (echo): The blind now see, the lame now walk, Men: The dead arise at Your word’s call, Women (echo): At Your word’s call!

All: Mountains move, the darkness flees, At the mighty name of Jesus, King of peace! You don’t condemn, You call my name, You wash my heart, I’m not the same.

Chorus (Full Choir – louder and joyful)

Sopranos: Only Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life! Altos: Only Jesus, my Savior, my Light! Tenors: Peace in the storm, my refuge, my friend, Basses: Forever and ever, Your love has no end!

Bridge (Soft, in harmony – crescendo)

All: You are holy, pure, and kind, The Lamb of God for all mankind. No fear in love, no guilt remains, Your cross has washed away my stains.

(Hold “away my stains…” in harmony — then build into final verse)

Verse 3 (Strong – tutti or unison)

You are the King who came to serve, The Lord of all the world deserves. No one compares, no power can stand, Above the glory of Your hand!

Final Chorus (Powerful – full harmony & repeats)

Sopranos: Only Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life! Altos: Only Jesus, my Savior, my Light! Tenors: Peace in the storm, my refuge, my friend, Basses: Forever and ever, Your love has no end!

(Repeat and fade — optional descant: “Only Jesus… forever reigns!”)

Outro (A cappella or soft piano)

All (slowly): Forever and ever… Your love has no end… Only Jesus… Only Jesus…
