Holy Only by Travis Greene Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m not afraid to say I don’t know
What I should do or how this will unfold
So many mysteries, but we have history
So I remind my soul
Chorus
Nobody else can love me like you
You’re the only one that can do
What no other god can
You are holy only
Nobody else can be who you are
Stand alone and I stand in awe
Of your matchless power
You are holy only
Verse 2
Never a day that I’ve been alone
Gave me a key hidden in the name I can call on
Jesus my everything, You still make room for me
So I remind my soul
Bridge
Nobody else
Nobody else
Nobody else
You are holy only
Nobody else (Jesus)
Nobody else (Jesus)
Nobody else (Jesus)
You are holy only
