Only Your Name

“Only Your Name” is a worship song about bringing Jesus our honest, unpolished selves—on and off the stage. Written as a quiet surrender, it moves from the stillness of the worship room into the rush of weekday life, asking God to turn kitchen floors and city streets into holy ground. The lyrics confess that God isn’t after performance, perfection, or platform, but the heart behind the song. With its simple “hallelujahs” and prayerful refrain, “Be my one desire, Jesus—only You”, this song becomes a daily liturgy of re-alignment: clearing out lesser loves, tuning our wandering hearts to grace, and offering every breath, moment, and ordinary step for His name alone.

Lyrics

Verse 1
When the room falls still
And the lights grow dim
I come with empty hands,
No trophies to bring in.
You see the hidden place,
The motives and the mind;
So I lay down every line
And give You all my time.

Pre-Chorus
You’re not asking for the polish—
You’re calling for my heart.

Chorus
Be my one desire, Jesus—only You.
Not the rhythms, not the stage—just coming close to You.
Take these simple hallelujahs, let them bless Your throne;
Every breath and every moment—Yours and Yours alone.

Verse 2
In the weekday rush,
In the quiet of the night,
Teach my soul to sing
Where no one sees the light.
Let my ordinary steps
Turn into steady praise;
Make my kitchen floors and city streets
A sanctuary place.

Pre-Chorus
You’re not asking for the perfect—
You’re after all I am.

Chorus
Be my one desire, Jesus—only You.
Not the rhythms, not the stage—just coming close to You.
Take these simple hallelujahs, let them bless Your throne;
Every breath and every moment—Yours and Yours alone.

Bridge
Burn away the lesser loves,
Clear the cluttered ways;
Tune my wandering heart
To the mercy of Your grace.
Like incense in the night,
Let worship rise and stay—
Till all I want and all I sing
Is Christ, my hope, my praise.

Chorus
Be my one desire, Jesus—only You.
Not the rhythms, not the stage—just coming close to You.
Take these simple hallelujahs, let them bless Your throne;
Every breath and every moment—Yours and Yours alone.

Tag/Outro
Only for Your name,
Only for Your name—
My song, my life, my offering:
Only for Your name.

“Only Your Name” is more than a song—it’s a prayer we keep coming back to. As you sing it, let it pull you out of performance and back into Presence. Let it reshape the way you see your living room, your commute, your conversations and your quiet moments. Our hope is that this melody would linger long after the music stops, gently reminding you that every breath, every task, every hidden place can belong to Jesus—wholly, simply, and only for His name.
