Living for Jesus (Chisholm)

Living for Je­sus

a life that is true

Striving to please Him in all that I do;

Yielding al­le­giance

glad heart­ed and free

This is the path­way of bless­ing for me.

O Je­sus

Lord and Sav­ior

I give my­self to Thee

For Thou

in Thy atone­ment

Didst give Thy­self for me.

I own no oth­er mas­ter

My heart shall be Thy throne.

My life I give

hence­forth to live

O Christ

for Thee alone.

Living for Je­sus who died in my place

Bearing on Cal­va­ry my sin and dis­grace;

Such love con­strains me to an­swer His call

Follow His lead­ing and give Him my all.

Living for Je­sus

wher­ev­er I am

Doing each du­ty in His ho­ly name;

Willing to suf­fer af­flict­ion and loss

Deeming each tri­al a part of my cross.

Living for Je­sus through earth’s lit­tle while

My dear­est trea­sure

the light of His smile;

Seeking the lost ones He died to re­deem

Bringing the wea­ry to find rest in Him.
