Lyrics
Who makes the sun to rise
And bring the earth new life in every beam
Jesus it is You
Who turns the day to night
And watches me as I begin to dream
Jesus it is You
Who brings me food for my table
Who cares for all of my needs
Who walks the road with me
Has grown with me
Through all that I have been
Jesus it is You
Jesus it is You
I lift my hands
I bring my song
All of my days
All of my rights, all of my wrongs
I offer my life
Here and beyond
To the one thing true
Jesus it is You
Who sees my brokenness
And carries me when I am frail and weak
Jesus it is You
Who tells the storm to rest
When I am overwhelmed and cannot speak
Jesus it is You
Who wears my guilt on His shoulders
Who holds my heart in His hands
Who takes my thoughts and fears
And hangs them on the arms of Calvary
Jesus it is You
Jesus it is You
I lift my hands
I bring my song
All of my days
All of my rights, all of my wrongs
I offer my life
Here and beyond
To the one thing true
Jesus it is You
To the one thing true
Jesus it is You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Jesus It Is You” presents Christ as the source of daily provision, companionship, peace, and redemption. The verses move from creation’s rhythms and ordinary needs to moments of weakness, fear, and guilt. In each setting, the repeated answer remains Jesus. That pattern gives the song the character of a personal confession, identifying his care not as an abstract belief but as help experienced across every part of life.
The chorus responds with surrender: lifted hands, a song, and the offering of every day, every right, and every wrong. Calvary becomes the central image behind that devotion, with guilt pictured as carried by Christ. The lyric about commanding the storm also recalls the Gospel account in which Jesus stills the wind and sea. Together, these images connect worship with trust in Christ’s authority and saving work. The song’s final emphasis is exclusivity and allegiance, declaring Jesus to be the one enduring truth to whom the whole life is offered.
