Sheet music
- 1Living 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.
- 2Living for Jesus who died in my place,Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace;Such love constrains me to answer His call,Follow His leading and give Him my all.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.
- 3Living 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.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.
