Today's hymn is "Living for Jesus".
I think the one line that sticks out the most to me when I read back through the lyrics is "Living for Jesus, wherever I am, Doing each duty in His holy Name". I think it is very easy to get into the rhythm of life, of our daily work, and feel like we aren't in the right place cause we aren't in the ministry or doing "missionary" work. And yet do we get a guilty feeling from God or from scripture? This line and indeed scripture reminds us "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;" (Colossians 3:23). So, wherever you are, you can and should live for Jesus, in whatever you are doing. May it be so.
Lyrics:
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.
[Refrain]
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.
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.
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.
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.
