Lyrics

Everything, both great and small
Christ gives me now to do;
Jesus lives and gives me all—
And more—makes all things new.

Refrain

Jesus gives me all,
All the grace I need;
Jesus lives and gives me all,
Yes, ev­ery­thing I need.

When our Sav­ior we re­ceive
As pro­phet, priest and king,
We by faith di­vine­ly live,
And works, His tri­bute bring.

Refrain

Christ in us doth live and move,
We’re branch­es of the vine;
Jesus, word of life and love,
In faith and works com­bine.
