Let Jesus Fix It for You

Author: Charles A. Tindley (1851-1933) Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: If your life in days gone by Lyrics: 1 If your life in days gone by, Has not been good and true, In your own way no longer try, But let Him fix it for you. Refrain: Let Jesus fix it for you, He knows just what to do; Whenever you pray, let Him have His way, And He will fix it for you. 2 Perhaps your temper is to blame, For many wrongs you do, Take it to God in Jesus’ name, And He will fix it for you. [Refrain] 3 If in your home the trouble is, The course you should pursue, Go talk with God, your hand in His, And He will fix it for you. [Refrain] 4 And if some sin your soul hath bound With cords you can’t undo, At Jesus’ feet go lay it down, And He will fix it for you. [Refrain] 5 Maybe to you the world is dark, And comforts far and few, Let Jesus own and rule your heart, And He will fix it for you. [Refrain] Topics: Hymns and Songs Jesus Christ our Lord Used With Tune: [If your life in days gone by]
