lyrics
1 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.
striving to please him in all that I do,
yielding allegiance glad hearted and free
this is the pathway of blessing for me.
Refrain (may
be sung after stanza 3 only): O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
I give myself to you,
for you in your atonement
did give yourself for me.
I own no other master
my heart shall be your throne:
my life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ, for you alone.
2 Living for
Jesus, who died in my place,
bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace:
such love constrains me to answer his call,
follow his leading, and give him my all.
bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace:
such love constrains me to answer his call,
follow his leading, and give him my all.
[Refrain]
3 Living for
Jesus wherever I am,doing each duty in his holy name,
seeking the lost ones he died to redeem,
bringing the weary to find rest in him.
[Refrain]
Thomas O. Chisholm was
born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in
teaching district schools. He spent fiver years as editor of the local paper at
Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was
business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Hearld" or
Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His
aim in writing was to incorporate as much as Scripture as possible and to avoid
flippant or sentimental themes. Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and
Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson
Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916)
