Living for Jesus - what a thing to aspire to. We can do it but not ourselves! When we accept the help offered by the Lord, we can indeed live for Jesus, instead of our default - living for self. It's easy to slip into the default position. Self is a demanding master. But we cannot serve two masters and we must make a choice. Jesus or self? I pray that we have the strength from above to choose Jesus!
This was another request from a wonderful listener - and another one I didn't know - though I had heard it somewhere! It wasn't completely unknown, but slightly familiar. It has a powerful and encouraging message and one I am very glad to now know! May you all be blessed as you listen. I am moving slowly through the requests and still have many months worth ahead. Thank you for your continued patience! May God bless you all.
Living For Jesus
Verse 1
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.
Chorus:
O Jesus, Lord and Saviour, 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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
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.
