I know a great Saviour, I do; don’t you? 
I live by His favor, I do; don’t you?
For grace I implore Him, I worship before Him,
I love and adore Him, I do; don’t you?

I need Him to lead me, I do; don’t you?
Heav’n’s manna to feed me, I do; don’t you?
What ever betide me, I need Him beside me,
In mercy to hide me, I do; don’t you?

I love to be near Him, I do; don’t you?
He speaks and I hear Him, I do; don’t you?
For me He is caring, the cross I am bearing,
I love Him for sharing, I do; don’t you?

I want Him to use me, I do; don’t you?
For service to choose me, I do; don’t you?
I want Him to bless me, to own and confess me,
completely possess me, I do; don’t you?

All For Jesus

This week we will share two songs that illustrate a child-like faith. They are written by others and recorded as solos by Frank's daughter, Joyce, at a young age. Here is the recording of today's song with lyrics below:



Words by E.E. Hewitt, music by W.J. Kirkpatrick

Little hands to work for Jesus
Little feet to walk his way
Little ears to hear his message
Little lips to sing his praise.

All for Jesus, all for Jesus
True and faithful may I be
All for Jesus, all for Jesus
All for Him who died for me.

Little hands to help each other,
Little lips His grace to tell,
Little songs to raise to heaven,
Little hearts to love Him well.

All for Jesus, all for Jesus
True and faithful may I be
All for Jesus, all for Jesus
All for Him who died for me.

Little eyes to read the story
Of His love in all around
Little minds to learn the lessons
In the Holy Bible Found

All for Jesus, all for Jesus
True and faithful may I be
All for Jesus, all for Jesus
All for Him who died for me.

Little lips to speak so gently,
Little knees to bow in pray'r.
Little feet to do His errands,
Little hearts to trust his care.

All for Jesus, all for Jesus
True and faithful may I be
All for Jesus, all for Jesus
All for Him who died for me.
