1 When my spirits are low and my footsteps are slow
And the light never seems to shine;
I just pray to my Lord and He hears ev'ry word,
For I know that Jesus is mine.

Refrain:
He's my Jesus, my precious Jesus,
He's the truth and the way divine;
He stays beside me and safely guides me,
For I know that Jesus is mine.

3 If I fail to be true in the things that I do,
Lord, I pray take my hand in Thine;
He will keep me His own, never leave me alone,
And I know that Jesus is mine. [Refrain]

4 Till the journey is run and the life-crown is won,
To His will freely I'll resign;
Storms may oft overtake,
Friends and loved ones forsake,
But I know that Jesus is mine.
