CONSECRATION £ Acknowledging the Lord's Reign
|
|---|
|
| 1. | This day the Lord has spoken, |
| | This day my choice is made: |
| | I will be all for Jesus, |
| | Who all for me has paid. |
| 2. | Now His shall be the empire, |
| | In all things over me; |
| | And I will be His bond slave, |
| | Yet gloriously free. |
| 3. | From henceforth, owning nothing, |
| | I cannot lose at all; |
| | I cannot well be poorer, |
| | Whatever may be fall. |
| 4. | Yet could I not be richer, |
| | If I the world should gain; |
| | For heav'n and earth shall perish, |
| | But Jesus will remain. |
| 5. | And He will be my treasure, |
| | And He my boundless store; |
| | And those who live on Jesus, |
| | Will never hunger more. |
| 6. | Though I am utter weakness, |
| | In Him I shall prevail; |
| | And though my love may falter, |
| | Yet His will never fail. |
