244. ALL THINGS IN JESUS
1. Friends all around me are trying to find
What the heart yearns for, by sin undermined;
I have the secret, I know where ‘tis found:
Only true pleasures in Jesus abound.
Chorus:
All that I want is in Je..sus,
He satisfies,.. joy he supplies;..
Life would be worthless without.. Him,..
All things in Jesus I find.
2. Some carry burdens whose weight has for years
Crushed them with sorrow and blinded with tears,
Yet One stands ready to help them just now,
If they will humbly in penitence bow.
3. No other name trills the joy-chords within,
And thro’ none else is remission f sin;
He knows the pain of the heart sorely tried,
Both need and want will by Him be supplied.
4. Jesus is all this poor world needs today,
Blindly they strive, for sin darkens their way;
O to draw back the grim curtains of night,
One glimpse of Jesus and all will be bright!
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
