15970. Life For Christ Today

1 Oh, let me live for Christ alone,
While here on earth I stay;
My orders only from His throne,
Oh, keep me in the way.
Let me live for Christ today;
Oh, let me live for Him today.

2 Oh, let me walk where Jesus trod,
And fear not all His foes;
He is my shepherd, He my God,
His sheep He ever knows.
Let me walk with Christ today,
Oh, let me walk with Him today.

3 Oh, let me fight today, as one
Who on the Lord relies,
For soon my battles here are done,
My crown is in the skies.
Let me fight for Christ today,
Oh, let me fight for Him today.

4 Oh, let me work with Heav’n in view,
And strive to enter there.
Do Thou my stubborn heart subdue,
And for that home prepare.
Let me work for Christ today,
Oh, let me work for Him today.
