1 There is sin in the camp, there is treason today!
Is it in me?
Is it in me?
There is cause in our ranks for defeat and delay,
Is it, O Lord, in me?
Something of selfishness, garments or gold,
Something of hindrance in young or in old,
Something why God doth His blessing withhold;
Is it, O Lord, in me?

Is it in me?
Is it in me?
Is it, O Lord, in me?

2 I come in my need to the life-giving Word,
Is it for me?
Is it for me?
By faith in its pow’r let my soul be restored,
Is it, O Lord, for me?
Pardon and purity Jesus will give,
Life everlasting to all who believe;
Oh that His pow’r I might fully receive!
Is it, O Lord, for me?

Is it for me?
Is it for me?
Is it, O Lord, for me?

3 There is peace in believing, whatever betides,
Is it for me?
Is it for me?
There is rest to the soul that in Jesus abides,
Is it, O Lord, for me?
Surely the work of redemption is done,
Surely the Father is pleased with the Son,
Surely the saved and the Saviour are one;
Surely ‘tis all for me.

All for me,
All for me,
Surely ‘tis all for me.

Bliss became an itinerant music teacher, making house calls on horseback during the winter, and during the summer attending the Normal Academy of Music in Genesco, New York. His first song was published in 1864, and in 1868 Dwight L. Moody advised him to become a singing evangelist. For the last two years of his life Bliss traveled with Major D. W.
