A very meaningful hymn which touched me so much earlier, during my Bible study on the book of Isaiah (on chapter 6). The song reminded me of why I heed His call in the first place to do what I'm doing now, and how I should go on to do what I'm called to do. The hymn goes like this:
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 Calvary my sin and disgrace;
Such love constrains me to answer His call,
Follow His leading and give Him my all.
(Refrain )
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.
(Refrain )
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.
(Refrain)
I ask the Lord to always remind me however difficult the task may be, I am merely a vessel called by God to do His work, not mine. And I ask the Spirit of God to constantly sharpen my mind, enflame my heart and energize my will to live by His grace for His honor and glory, and seek to please Him in every thought, word, deed, my all! Amen.
