CONSECRATION  - LIVING FOR THE LORD

456

1. Living for Jesus a life that is true,
   Striving to please Him in all that I do;
   Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
   This is the pathway of blessing for me.

     O Jesus, Lord and Savior,
     I give myself to Thee,
     For thou, in Thy atonement*,
     Didst give Thyself for me;
     I own no other Master,
     My heart shall be Thy throne,
     My life I give, henceforth to live,
     O Christ, for Thee alone.

2. Living for Jesus who died in my place,
   Bearing on Calv'ry my sin and disgrace;
   Such love constrains me to answer His call,
   Follow His leading and give Him my all.

3. Living for Jesus wherever I am,
   Doing each duty in His holy name;
   Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
   Deeming each trial a part of my cross.

4. Living for Jesus through earth's little while,
   My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
   Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
   Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.

   *The Compilers prefer that the New Testament word, "redemption," be used and sung instead of "atonement."
