I Want My Life to Count for Jesus

I want my life to count for Je­sus

As thro’ the world I go;

I long to be so true and faith­ful

That oth­ers may His good­ness know.

I want my life to count for Him

In serv­ice ev­ery day;

In all I do

in all I say

I want my life to count for Him.

I want my life to speak for Je­sus

In words of love and cheer

That lone­ly hearts by grief o’er­tak­en

May feel His bless­èd pre­sence near.

I want my life to speak for Him

In serv­ice ev­ery day;

In all I do

in all I say

I want my life to speak for Him.

I want my life to shine for Je­sus—

Lost souls are in the night;

If I re­flect His beams of mer­cy

I’ll lead them to the Gos­pel light.

I want my life to shine for Him

In serv­ice ev­ery day;

In all I do

in all I say

I want my life to shine for Him.

I want to go and dwell with Je­sus

When life on earth is o’er;

No bit­ter tears

no dis­ap­point­ments

I’ll be with Him for­ev­er­more.

I want to go and dwell with Him

In Heav­en by and by;

No flow­ers fade

none ev­er die

I want to go and dwell with Him.
