Only You—A Love Song For Him
Mar 24
by Victoria Robinson
The 1954 classic song, Only You, performed by The Platters certainly has a lot of scriptural truth in it, though maybe not what the writer intended. While this song speaks of a man who loves a woman, the words perfectly characterize the way we should love our Lord. Let us look at these words as a love song to Him, our—Only You!
Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do and fill my heart with love for only you
Only you can make this change in me for it’s true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You’re my dream come true my one and only you
One and only you
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do and fill my heart with love for only you
Only you can make this change in me for it’s true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You’re my dream come true my one and only you
One and only you
— The Platters 1954

Can hold my hand …

Girlfriends, it does not pay well to mind other people’s business, so why is that we sometimes easily find our ourselves making a “career” of it? The book of First Thessalonians admonishes us to, “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business …” Yet, instead of minding our own business we focus on the habits, shortcomings, success, etc. of those around us. Even the disciple Peter fell into this trap when he asked Jesus what would become of John. Jesus quickly let’s him know that he should mind his own business. He tells him, “… what is that to you?”
We are told over and over in the Scriptures to not focus on others, but instead look inward at ourselves. In the book of Galatians we are instructed to test our own actions and not compare ourselves with somebody else. We are not to be busybodies, but to be busy with our own lives. I do not know about you girlfriends, but I have a fulltime job attempting to make sure I behave myself without worrying about anybody else.
Dearest girlfriends, let us concern ourselves with leading our lives in a godly manner and not being busybodies.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NIV
Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. … When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” ~ John 21:20-23 NIV
But you deserve to suffer if you are a murderer, a thief, a crook, or a busybody. ~ 1 Peter 4:15 CEV
We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:11 NIV
Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. ~ 1 Timothy 5:13 NIV
Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load. ~ Galatians 6:4-5 NIV
