Living for Jesus (Chisholm)

Di tengah terpaan banyak musik gerejawi yang cenderung ada untuk memuaskan "emosi" manusia dan bersifat antroposentris, thanks God untuk diberi kesempatan mengenal lagu-lagu hymn.. Salah satu yang memiliki lyric yang demikian baik adalah lagu "Living for Jesus" dari Thomas Chisholm..

Berikut lyricnya:

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.

1. Living 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

• Refrain:
  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.
