I'll Put Jesus First

Verse 1

The world all about me has now no allure: Its pleasure ring pain, Its wisdom is vain; I seek a foundation that's steadfast and sure: I'll put Jesus first in my life.

Chorus

In all that I say, In all that I do, Thro'out the world of toil and strife, By day and by night, Thro' trust in His might, I'll put Jesus first in my life.

Verse 2

The Lord Jesus died my salvation to win: He went in my stead To Calv'ry and bled; Redemption impels me to give up all sin: I'll put Jesus first in my life.

Verse 3

I know there's a home for the ransomed and blest, When death is no more, When struggle is o'er, For those who love Jesus and give Him their best: I'll put Jesus first in my life.

Verse 4

Tho' earth's tribulations continue each day, Tho' pleasure may call, Tho' evil enthrall, His grace will protect me forever and aye: I'll put Jesus first in my life.
