Jesus is all the world to me:
My life, my joy, my all.
He is my strength from day to day;
Without Him I would fall.
When I am sad, to Him I go;
No other one can cheer me so.
When I am sad, He makes me glad;
He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
My Friend in trials sore.
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o’er and o’er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain;
He sends the harvest’s golden grain:
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain—
He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I’ll be.
Oh, how could I this Friend deny
When He’s so true to me?
Following Him I know I’m right;
He watches o’er me day and night.
Following Him by day and night,
He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend.
I trust Him now; I’ll trust Him when
Life’s fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a Friend;
Beautiful life that has no end!
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He’s my Friend.
PS. Why is it that all these beautiful hymns are sung by... well... people who don't always sing on key. People who need more training. Of all the songs in the world, such meaningful hymns should be done justice and sung with the most skilled of voices instead of by the weird misfits. They should be as pleasant to the ear as they are to the soul. How we fail.
PPS. I don't say this to dis the above group, it's just my overall, general opinion. Some gospel singers and musicians sing hymns gorgeously.
This hymn is so beautiful...and I learned a long time ago that God loves people to sing praises to Him and it doesn't matter if it is off key...because it is what is in the heart that matters.
ReplyDeleteSongs can be sung beautifully by trained singers who have hearts full of pride and envy.
God sees the heart...
I think we need to learn to see what God sees.
This song has a special place in my heart. Many times can't sing it without tears.
