My Life Shall Shine for Jesus

My life shall shine for Jesus;
Yea, this is my resign.
That everything about my life
Would show His will divine.

My hands shall serve my Jesus
In service large or small.
In any task He brings to me
That I would give my all.

My lips shall speak of Jesus
Throughout my earthly days.
That I would take no glory
But give Him ALL the praise.

My song shall be for Jesus
For He hath saved my life.
That my song would be pleasing
To Him who paid the price.

My ears shall hear of Jesus;
I listen for His voice.
That I might one day witness
That He was my first choice.

My mind shall think of Jesus
My life with blood He bought.
That I may ever, always say
That He is my best thought.

My time is all for Jesus
That I might always know.
That I have used it wisely
And been not foolish or slow.

My will shall stand for Jesus
Yet lay down at His feet.
That I may learn to lean on Him
In Him I am complete.

My pen shall write of Jesus
He gives each word and rhyme.
That I’d always ask him for it
Saying: “Not my words but Thine!”

My heart shall joy in Jesus
Whatever life may bring.
My life shall ever shine for Him
For He’s my everything!
