Many Christians, including me, continue to be inspired by the Christ-centered songs of A.B. Simpson.
One of my favorites is "
Jesus Only is our Message", which he penned in 1890.
The music and words can be heard and seen at:

The words are:
Jesus only is our message,
Jesus all our theme shall be;
We will lift up Jesus ever,
Jesus only will we see.
Refrain
Jesus only, Jesus ever,
Jesus all in all we sing,
Savior, sanctifier, and healer,
Glorious Lord and coming king.
Jesus only is our Savior,
All our guilt He bore away,
All our righteousness He gives us,
All our strength from day to day.
Refrain
Jesus is our sanctifier,
Cleansing us from self and sin,
And with all His Spirit’s fullness,
Filling all our hearts within.
Refrain
Jesus only is our healer,
All our sicknesses He bare,
And His risen life and fullness,
All His members still may share.
Refrain
Jesus only is our power,
He the gift of Pentecost,
Jesus, breathe Thy power upon us,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost.
Refrain
And for Jesus we are waiting,
Listening for the advent call;
But ’twill still be Jesus only,
Jesus ever, all in all.
Refrain
A nice contemporary song inspired by this is sung by Aaron Shust
