The New Praiseworthy ‎#19

19. I Owe It All to Jesus

1 My hope of Heav'n on Christ is stayed,
My sins were all upon Him laid,
My ransom price He freely paid;
I owe it all to Jesus.

Chorus:
For me the thorny crown He wore,
For me the cruel cross He bore;
He paid my debt, I'll not forget,
I owe it all to Jesus.

2 Life as a lamb to slaughter led,
He came and suffered in my stead,
And once for all his life-blood shed;
I owe it all to Jesus. [Chorus]

3 With groans and tears and agony
He suffered in Gethsemane;
For time and for eternity
I owe it all to Jesus. [Chorus]

4 To claim Him mine I humbly dare,
And full allegiance to Him swear,
And now proclaim it ev'rywhere,
I owe it all to Jesus. [Chorus]

5 My all upon the altar lies -
A willing, living sacrifice;
Tho' small the gift, He'll not despise;
I owe it all to Jesus. [Chorus]
