16. Serving Jesus

1 I want to serve Jesus today, today,
I want to serve Jesus today,
My tasks to fulfill,
Obeying His will,
I want to serve Jesus today.

Refrain:
To serve Him and please Him today, today,
And all His commandments obey, obey,
And oh, to be like Him, and near Him to stay,
This pray’r to my Jesus I’ll pray.

2 I want to be like Him today, today,
I want to be like Him today.
To wear on my face
His sweetness and grace,
I want to be like Him today. [Refrain]

3 I want to be near Him today, today,
I want to be near Him today.
To sit at His feet,
His lessons repeat,
I want to be near Him today. [Refrain]
