Nothing for Jesus

Author: Mrs. M. D. James Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Crowded is your heart with cares Lyrics: 1 Crowded is your heart with cares, Have you no room for Jesus: Captured by earth's golden snares, Have you no room for Jesus? Lo! he's standing at your door, Knocking, knocking o'er and o'er; Hear him pleading evermore; Have you no room for Jesus? 2 Wasting all your precious hours, Have you no work for Jesus? Spending these God-given pow'rs, Have you no work for Jesus? Striving not to conquer sin, Seeking not a soul to win, Bringing not a wand'rer in; Have you no work for Jesus? 3 Seeking earth's possessions fair, Have you no time for Jesus? None for gracious deeds to spare, Have you no time for Jesus? Not a grain to store away, Naught your labor to replay, Not a joy for that great day When you shall meet with Jesus. 4 Bearing only worthless leaves, Have you no fruit for Jesus? In your hands no precious sheaves, Have you no fruit for Jesus? Not a grain to store away, Naught your labor to repay, Not a joy for that great day When you shall meet with Jesus.
