I spent today with Jesus,
And it was a blessed day.
The path grows ever sweeter
While upon the narrow way.
I spent today with Jesus
All my sadness did depart.
And I found myself rejoicing
For Jesus ruled my heart.
I spent today with Jesus
When temptations came my way.
I clung fast to Christ-bought vict’ry
And to Satan answered ‘nay.’
I spent today with Jesus
Looking up into His face.
I felt His smile upon me
Full of mercy, love, and grace.
I spent today with Jesus
Sought to please my Lord alone.
As I joyed in the assurance
That I was His very own.
I spent today with Jesus
His pleasure: my delight.
Praying earnestly each moment
That I would choose the right.
I spent today with Jesus
When others ‘stepped’ on me
I cried to Him for patience
To respond to them kindly.
I spent today with Jesus
When emotions tried to reign
I turned my heart to Jesus
And I cried upon His name.
I spent today with Jesus
And found all that I had sought.
And of all the things I pondered
Jesus was my sweetest thought.
I spent today with Jesus
May my message one day be:
“I spent my life with Jesus,
Now I’ll spend eternity!”
