What Would Jesus Do?

Representative Text

1 With Jesus as your Savior,
His life in constant view,
When some decision you should make,
Ask, "What would Jesus do?"

Refrain:
O "What would Jesus do?"
O "What would Jesus do?"
Just ask yourself the question,
O "What would Jesus do?"

2 Sometimes you'll meet misfortune,
The tempter will pursue;
'Tis duty whispers sweetly then,
O "What would Jesus do?" [Refrain]

3 In walking life's great pathway,
The wrong you would subdue,
Be sure to ask the question great,
O "What would Jesus do?" [Refrain]

4 Your Father calls for reapers,
The question now for you
Is not, how long will mercy wait,
But, "What would Jesus do?" [Refrain]
