I’ve tried in vain a thousand ways
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise
But what I need, Your word has said
Is ever, only, Jesus
You died, you live, you reign, you plead
There’s love in all your words and deeds
This weary heart finds all it needs
In ever, only, Jesus
I want to know you, Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens, King of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know you, then know you more
Though some should curse me for your name
I have no fear, I have no shame
You stand with me for all my days
My ever, only, Jesus
Like wave after wave on the ocean
Like all of the sand on the shore
Your beauty and glory are endless
O Jesus I must know you more
Finally Christian worship music! Theology is good here.
Amen and Amen! Christ centered worship! Glory to Jesus only.
You can say that again, brethren. I had quit listening to "gospel" music until I found this group. All they sing is Jesus, amen to that!
I agree.
It is the true gospel
@@gwindingwi_80 Try Shane and Shane. Their Psalms and Hymns ablums are great! I was in the same boat too. The boyfriend jesus songs that are played on KLUV and the FISH are a joke. 90% you could change the context to a girlfriend or boyfriend and it wouldnt change anything. But thats a sign of the times that we live in and how the american church is so far from what it was intended to be.
My grand daughter gave advice me to listen to these songs everyday before sleeping.I really get blessed with these wonderful songs. Praise for Cityalight!
🥰🥰🥰
oh ma'am praise be to God who let you know this wonderful Christ-centered band! May Godbless you♥️
Praise to Jesus Christ is Lord
Praise the Lord for Citylight!
A song where Jesus is preached. Biblically sound worship songs. Thank You, God for this.
I WISH I discovered CityAlight much sooner!!!! Their music is all I listen to, now. So Gospel filled, so much Jesus and pure worship - this is all I could have wanted or hoped for. I hope when all this pandemic is over, they will do a worldwide tour!!!!
Yes. I really hope you do a tour. Your songs inspire alot of around the world.
Amen
I agree with you I too wish I had discovered this wonderful group. I will be listening always now. I would like to make one comment ; why do you have the lights so dark you are a city alight?
Yes they are very good, solid and theologically sound. So is Sovereign Grace, and The Getty’s. Maranatha
They shouldn't do a tour, they are the music for their church. We get to hear their songs via the internet.
Hallelujah
Jesus my Lord 😭😭😭😭 without you Jesus our life is meaningless
I listened to this worship song for the first time today,played on Google, It moved me to tears,and let understand that without the love of God I was nothing,I was no one, I had no life ,no peace , no love ,or understanding,and no wisdom.Since I met the Lord Jesus he has become my Lord my Saviour and King.AMEN.
"I trade my treasures and all my rewards,
Jesus to know you , and know you more."
It says in scripture that God inhabits the Praises of his people. It is a great blessing to hear scripture and song. I've been saved now 10 years. I come from a pretty bad background and I'm thankful everyday for our Lord Jesus Christ and the blood that was shed on calvary's Cross fall of mankind. May the god of heaven and our Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless your church and your worship team
Glory be to God
Philippians 1:6 l was frozen on snowbank but not forgotten by our LORD JESUS
Are you born of water & the Spirit as Jesus spoke? He said it is needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Acts 238 is the New Testament salvation msg
One night in my apartment about a year ago, I was frustrated and thinking about meaning of life kind of things. I asked whomever might be listening, "why is everything so secret and cryptic; why can't we just be told in a more direct manner the answers to all these important questions we have like, who am I?". Well, I got my answer. A being/person appeared beside me, on one knee next to the couch to be eye level with me. He was wearing a really shiny, really golden breast plate with a red/burgundy tunic underneath that ended above the knee like men would wear in ancient times. His hair was kind of short but hanging down the sides of his face a little and really really blonde (almost white). He was very pale and very "glowy". His eyes looked like there was a star in each of them, literally a big twinkling star in each of them,shining outwards; it's all you could see. The area around him was darker than my apartment lighting and a little warpy, which is what caught my attention in the corner of my eye when it started. It was like another reality was opened up in this one. Little flecks of orange light flowing in one direction like a calm river of embers from a fire. He looked at me with this almost pleased half smile kind of a look, and in a tone of voice one uses to answer a question just said, "David, you are a son of God". I wasn't scared; it actually felt very peaceful and there was just so much regal holiness emanating from him, but I was just so stunned, all I could do was stare at him. I was looking at his eyes just shining away and I was wondering to myself what his eyes looked like behind that, if there even was anything. Well, he obviously "heard" me wondering that because he turned his head to the right somewhat so he wasn't looking directly at me, so I could see his eyes better, and I saw them move around a little and I'm pretty sure they were blue. The whole thing lasted about 15 seconds and I guess it was time for him to go. The flecks of light flowing in from behind him suddenly rapidly sped up and multiplied until it was a raging torrent. It became like a wall of light and there was a flash and he was gone. I just sat there motionless in stunned silence for several minutes trying to take it all in. Pretty sure it was an angel😳😱😲. I guess my request to have an answer in a more direct manner was granted😳😳😳. I was never very spiritual but I'm going to be baptized soon 🙏. And yes, I know how this sounds..but sharing anyway.
We lost one of our beloved shepherds last year in Dr. Timothy Keller. I have listened to hundreds of his sermons, and have heard him comment on 5 - 10 of these divine experiences that famous people had throughout history. I have had a few myself, and they are beyond describable. I think it was Augustine, while watching the sun set over the Mediterranean, who said if these are the pleasures God affords sinful man, imagine the majesty of Heaven (cannot find the actual quote…but the meaning is intact). One of my experiences while praying was God allowing me to sense what Heaven FEELS like (no visualization). 5 minutes of joyful sobbing (could barely breathe), followed by me begging Him to stay…
@@MichaelConaway-9637direct revelation left when the Bible was finished being written. While we can feel Gods prescence thru spiritual state and emotion he is never physically with us, but rather spiritually.
*Though some should curse me for your name
I have no fear, I have no shame*
Praise the Lord!!!

I am in tears. The meaning of life is only this: to know Jesus, and to make Him known. Here am I Lord. Send me.
This message is directed to you personally right now. Know in your deepest heart that Jesus loves you exactly as you are. He knows your heart and your every need and He is with you. Never fear never doubt.
Amen. Thank you. God bless you.
Me And My Generation Will Worship GOD Of Israel Amen
Praise God I stumbled upon their music. I regret not finding their music sooner, but I thank God for his timing.
The lyrics are rich in biblical truths and don't have the vague references mainstream Christian music overdo. I feel so close to Jesus when I listen to CityAlight!
Yes! Jesus The One and Only. Just love Him. He changes hearts and minds. Our miracle-making King of MY HEART. Jesus looks at the heart!
Me 2
Praise be to God! Thank you CityAlight for writing songs strong in theology and that give God all the glory. Because it’s not about us, it’s about Jesus and what He has done. He is on the throne and we should give him all the glory!
GLORY TO GOD
Puji Tuhan...
Jesus I must know you more...❤
This worship, scripture being proclaimed, people praise God and not themselves, is what the "modern worship" should be. Then it wouldn't be "modern worship". Christ proclamation is the worship that has always been the worship in music that draws the heart close to the Father.
I agree and the sad thing is most of the big names are making so much selfish worship. Worship in its purest is solely and only about God. That is why I listen to older Hillsong not. newer.
@@ethankibbey1976 I have actually just wrote an article on corporate and personal worship. And it alludes to stuff that is done by the churches who produce newer music that isn't really Christ centered. But, however, I have been thinking a lot about the music by the artists I WOULD NOT sing in corporate worship, but WOULD listen to personally. And it's the older Hillsong stuff. That's about it though. Their new stuff unfortunately is not Biblically Christ centered, but selfishly Christ centered, which is an oxymoron haha.
But I'm glad you said that about the older stuff of Hillsong because I have been wrestling with other folks who are on the worship team here that want to do Hillsongs newer stuff, or even Bethel and Elevation, and it doesn't set well with me. But I have given a little to Hillsongs older stuff in the past week haha.
I lead worship every so often here at my church. I push City Alight, Soveriegn Grace, and Psalms in the style done by Shane and Shane. I won't go outside of that realm much at all. It's a very good, Biblically sound corporate worship balance. And I'm good with that. 👍
@@ordosolutis There are deep rooted issues that we dismiss as being okay or we have excuses for such things. But Christian music as a whole today is a dry, dry well.
This song was my first exposure to City Alight, I actually was Googling lyrics to Sonicflood’s “I want to know you” but this was the defaulted option and I scanned the lyrics and I’m like, “Wow this actually has potential to be one of the rare gems I stumble on.” I wasn’t disappointed and I’ll continue to listen to more of their worship. Any suggestions from you personally? I will also dive deeper into the other ones you have suggested.
However, the deeper issues lie in politics, twisted ideals, a lack of genuine passion/relationship, religious complacency, a lack of challenge in church bodies and sermons and selfishness as a whole.
For politics, we have chosen sides. We are a house divided “And if a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand” - Mark 3:25. I am not saying Christians should disengage from politics completely but we see too many of them using the brutal fire technique of “You are going to Hell” straight up. Then we have progressive churches which are... well, you know. And how often do either side listen at all to the other? We turn a blind ear and a blind eye to our brother, but because that is the atmosphere of the cancel culture we live in today we find that to be socially acceptable.
How many of the people writing these songs do you reckon have a genuinely active, healthy, living relationship with our Savior King? How many do you think do the stereotypical I’ll kind of praise you when things are going okay but I really don’t NEED you then but now things are broken I’m all for You? God always walks with you, but do you always walk with God? So many songs are born of “Look at the good deed done through me” when we are warned not to put our good deeds on a pedestal but to do them in a quiet place...
Religious complacency and a lack of challenge go hand in hand. So many Christians go to church on Sunday, hear a weak sermon on God’s grace, go home and disengage from God for the week. Repeat 52 weeks a year. That is not how we are meant to live. We are meant to go and make disciples of the nations, to be the light of the world, to shine in the darkness, to stand in our faith and most importantly, to use our time in the word and in intercession with Him to be strengthened through His power. When was the last time we talked about challenging material, such as spiritual warfare, being in awe of God, humility and the fear of God? We don’t, it makes people uncomfortable. Well I want to be uncomfortable for God because His power is made perfect in weakness.
Twisted ideals in how we turn God’s word and use it either as a way to control people (well His word says this so shame tactics on you) or how we twist it so far out of proportion so that there is no conviction. We are offended so easily.
Our vision as a church body across this nation has become so perverted, so twisted which is why there is no fruit. We have turned away from Him. It’s sad to see. I am 17 and am very passionate about this subject so I could ramble on for a long long time but I won’t.
@@ethankibbey1976 AMEN!!!!
Ethan Kibbey for other active song writers, I would basically look up anybody who is featured with the Getty Sing conference and go from there.
I have only recently discovered CityAlight's music. It is giving me great strength, encouragement and increasing my love for Christ. I cannot thank you enough as this is helping me through an extremely challenging time. God bless you.
Jesus will see you through this difficult time and he will always go before you, fighting your battles. Cling to his promises. He will never leave you nor forsake you. God bless you. 🙏🏼❤
P1.6
Me too the same🙏🙌
Look up for your Blessed Hope is near

What if one hasn't gotten any "promises" from God...
Or worse still...
Have had them, trusted Him & more than 20 years later, none of it has come to fruition?
Somewhere else on social media I just read someone's post that said the Bible "is not about us", but about God, and that we should stop reading it so selfishly (or arrogantly, as if we "deserve" anything)....
My earthly hope is gone.
The only HOPE I have left, is to see God in heaven.
A man our pastor invited to lead worship came and sang this song and it brought tears to my eyes. I was so blessed by its message, simple as it was; just knowing who our Savior is.
Absolutely love City Alight! Biblical songs are a treasure. How I wish you could do videos to present in church with the lyrics. Small churches would be ever so grateful! Thank you for your songs, what a blessing.
Most of Cityalighr's videos have lyrics. I use them with our small group all the time.
I discovered this group of musicians and singers just recently...past week. Love them and love their music!
Powerful, watching from KENYA
The LORD bless and keep you Sanibin. Things are starting to get very dangerous in Kenya, aren't they? Your brothers and sisters in the United States are lifting your names to the Throneroom of God. Be well and be faithful. Romans 16:20; "the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet."
The Theology of this song is so deep. Thank you so much each and every song that your worship team composed it has a theology and base on the Holy Scripture. God bless.
If you like this group (and the music is heavenly), then checkout Sovereign Grace. Same humble, Christ-centered lyrics. A bigger sound ; variety is good.
@@stevebell3156 yes i do love Sovereign Grace as well they have a very good songs with sound doctrine and very deep theology...
Reminds me a lot of what Paul had to say in Philippians 3:7-11, where he talks about knowing Jesus, and counting all of his gains now as loss.
I sing this I'm my Pentecostal Church here in Northern Ireland UK
Like many of you have said, this band is a breath of fresh air…a lot of current music on radio seems shallow…7-11 songs as I heard it…the same 7 words sung 11 times over.
Lends itself well to congregational singing, which I miss so much.
Started listening to your songs about a while now after being introduced by a church member. Have been listening almost everyday and each time, the lyrics would just move me to tears. I m simply touched by the direct and simple, yet very profound message in the songs. I do feel blessed by your songs. Thank God for His blessing of talent upon all of you 🙏
Exactly the same for me - here in Wales, UK. God bless you, sister.
I thank the Lord for leading me to discover the City Alight. I'm so bless by this group and their music. Praise Jesus!
It is a great joy to find such a worship team @CityALight God bless you!
I'm so thankful for each and every one of you. God bless you all. ❤
