Christ at the centre
The release deliberately narrows the language around Jesus so the worshipper is not distracted by secondary themes.
Gathered Praise Worship EP
Jesus, Only Jesus
Jesus, Only Jesus places the person of Christ at the centre of the catalogue. The EP moves through nearness, name, sufficiency and exaltation, keeping the focus clear: Jesus is enough, near, worthy and lifted high.

Purpose
Why this release exists.
The purpose of this release is direct devotion. After releases on surrender, faithfulness, grace, hope, holiness, the cross and resurrection, this EP gathers attention onto Jesus Himself.
The songs are written to be simple enough for congregational worship and deep enough to carry repeated personal prayer: Jesus near, Jesus named above all, Jesus sufficient, Jesus lifted high.
Arc
The journey through the EP.
Jesus, Only Jesus opens with the core confession. Name Above All Names follows with a stronger outward declaration, giving the EP an early lift.
Near to Me becomes the intimate centre, All I Need Is Christ gives the clearest confession of sufficiency, and Be Lifted High closes the release in broad exaltation.
The heart behind it
A release shaped for gathered worship and everyday listening.
Each EP is developed as part of a wider worship-serving catalogue: clear songs, careful themes and a human-led creative process that keeps theology, singability and pastoral usefulness in view.
Near and exalted
The EP holds together the nearness of Jesus and the glory of His name above all names.
Devotion for the gathered church
The songs are personal without becoming private, keeping the language scalable for Sunday worship.
