The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4608

4608. Not My Own

1. Not my own, but saved by Jesus,
Who redeemed me by His blood,
Gladly I accept the message,
I belong to Christ the Lord.

Refrain
Not my own! Oh, not my own!
Jesus, I belong to Thee!
All I have, and all I hope for,
Thine for all eternity.

2. Not my own! to Christ, my Savior,
I, believing, trust my soul;
Everything to Him committed,
While eternal ages roll. [Refrain]

3. Not my own! my time, my talent,
Freely all to Christ I bring,
To be used in joyful service
For the glory of my King. [Refrain]

4. Not my own! the Lord accepts me,
One among the ransomed throng,
Who in Heav’n shall see His glory,
And to Jesus Christ belong. [Refrain]
