Background
"Only Jesus" was released on August 10, 2018, as the lead single on their eighth studio album of the same name. A lyric video was released on August 21, 2018. This song finds frontman Mark Hall musing on the idea of what he will be remembered for when his life is over. He believes that his only accomplishments are those things where Jesus has been at work. Hall explained: "There's much talk these days about legacy. How do we want to be remembered? The more I think about it the more I'm reminded that anything in me that's worth remembering are the things that Jesus has worked on, and is still working on in me. On my own I have nothing to offer the world, but Jesus does - so don't mind me. Jesus is the only name to remember."
The single was also written by American contemporary Christian musician Matthew West, who also features on the track "Nobody."
