87. Give Yourself to Jesus

1 Would you feel your heart grow lighter ev’ry day?
Give yourself to Jesus, give yourself to Jesus;
Would you be rejoicing all along the way?
Give yourself to Jesus, to Jesus.

Chorus:
Give yourself to Jesus, let Him have control;
He will not deceive you, safe will be your soul;
He will purify you, guide and keep you whole;
Give yourself to Jesus, to Jesus.

2 Would you lose the burden that has bent you low?
Give yourself to Jesus, give yourself to Jesus;
Would you find a brother who will share your woe?
Give yourself to Jesus, to Jesus. [Chorus]

3 If from pride and passion longing to be free,
Give yourself to Jesus, give yourself to Jesus;
It from pow’rs of darkness rescued you would be,
Give yourself to Jesus, to Jesus. [Chorus]

4. Are you worn and weary? are you stained with sin?
Give yourself to Jesus, give yourself to Jesus;
Would you find salvation, would you pardon win?
Give yourself to Jesus, to Jesus. [Chorus]
