Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart;
He'll always be with us, if we do our part;
There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford,
There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord.
CHORUS
I love Him far better than in days of yore,
I'll serve Him more truly than ever before,
I'll do as He bids me whatever the cost,
I'll be a true soldier, I'll die at my post.
VERSE 2
And oft when I'm tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Saviour,my mind wanders back,
To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary's tree
I hear a voice saying, I suffered for thee.
VERSE 3
A place I remember where I was set free,
'Twas where I found pardon, a heaven to me;
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole.
VERSE 4
How rich is the blessing, the world cannot give,
I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live.
Though friends may forsake me and trials arise,
I'm trusting in Jesus His love never dies.
VERSE 5
There's no one like Jesus can cheer me today,
His love and His kindness can ne'er fade away,
In winter, in summer, in sunshine and rain,
His love and affection are always the same.
VERSE 6
Will you have this blessing that Jesus bestows,
A free, full salvation for sin's bitter throes?
O come to the Saviour, to Calvary flee,
The fountain is opened, is flowing for thee.
JUST AS I AMVERSE 1
Just as I am without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
JUST AS I AMVERSE 2
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
JUST AS I AMVERSE 3
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
JUST AS I AMVERSE 4
Just as I am Thy love unknown,
Has broken ev'ry barrier down;
Now to be Thine, Yes Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
JUST AS I AMVERSE 5
Just as I am, tho' tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I Come! I Come!
JUST AS I AMVERSE 6
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I Come! I Come!
