Songs of Christian Service ‎#21

21. Yes, Dear Lord

1 Long my willful heart said “no”
To Jesus’ tender pleading;
Now I long his love to know,
My stubborn will is yielding.

Refrain:
Yes, dear Lord, yes, dear Lord,
Here I give my all to thee;
I believe, I believe
The blood avails for me.

2 Bringing all I am and have
In humble consecration,
Trusting in the blood I claim
This uttermost salvation. [Refrain]

3 Giving o’er my doubts and fears
And all my useless trying,
Trusting not my pray’rs or tears,
But on thy word relying. [Refrain]

4 Yes, dear Lord, in life or death
With thee all good possessing,
Not by feeling, but by faith
I take the promised blessing. [Refrain]
