Tune:[I gave my life to Jesus]
Composer:Robert Harkness

85. Only Jesus

1 I gave my life to Jesus,
He filled my soul with praise,
He set my heart asinging,
He brightened all my days.

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
He flooded me with melody,
My only song is Jesus.

2 I gave my hand to Jesus,
He leads me all the way;
His clasp is true and tender,
I cannot go astray. [Refrain]

3 I left my load with Jesus,
He bears it all for me;
He takes my ev’ry burden,
From sin He set me free. [Refrain]

4 I find my all in Jesus,
For He is all to me.
He keeps me ev’ry moment,
He guides me constantly. [Refrain]
