We sang my favorite hymn in church today, "Living for Jesus". At my Papa's funeral about 5 years ago all of the grand-daughters sang this before the service, needless to say that adds a special connection for me with this song.

It's been in my head all day, I'm pretty sure I drove Steven crazy randomly breaking out into song, especially in the grocery store...oh well :)

I was searching youtube (when I should have been studying for my test this Thursday...) and found this great up-beat version of the hymn. Love it! Hope you enjoy!





Living for Jesus

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.

(Chorus)
O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
I give myself to thee;
For thou, in thine 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.

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.

(Chorus)

Living for Jesus thro' 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

(Chorus)



So simple, so profound, so great!

Have a blessed week!
