All for Jesus!

Mary D. James • English

Primary Scripture: Ruth 2:12

Verse 1

All for Jesus! All for Jesus! All my being’s ransomed pow'rs, all my thoughts and words and doings, all my days and all my hours.

Verse 2

Let my hands perform his bidding, let my feet run in his ways; let my eyes see Jesus only, let my lips speak forth his praise.

Verse 3

Worldlings prize their gems of beauty, cling to gilded toys of dust, boast of wealth and fame and pleasure; only Jesus will I trust.

Verse 4

Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside; so enchained my spirit’s vision, looking at the Crucified.

Verse 5

O what wonder! How amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, deigns to call me his beloved, lets me rest beneath his wings.
