Lyrics

There’s sin in the camp, there is trea­son to­day!
Is it in me? Is it in me?
There’s cause in our ranks for de­feat and de­lay;
Is it, O Lord, in me?
Something of self­ish­ness, gar­ments or gold,
Something of hin­drance in young or in old,
Something why God doth His bless­ing with­hold—
Is it, O Lord, in me?
Is it in me? Is it in me? Is it, O Lord, in me?

I come in my need to the life giv­ing Word;
Is it for me? Is it for me?
By faith in its pow­er let my soul be re­stored;
Is it, O Lord, for me?
Pardon and pu­ri­ty Je­sus will give,
Life ev­er­last­ing to all who be­lieve;
Oh, that His pow­er I may ful­ly re­ceive,
Is it, O Lord, for me?
Is it for me? Is it for me?
Is it, O Lord, for me?

There’s peace in be­liev­ing, what­ev­er be­tide;
Is it for me? Is it for me?
There’s rest to the soul that in Je­sus abides;
Is it, O Lord, for me?
Surely the work of re­demp­tion is done;
Surely the Fa­ther is pleased with the Son;
Surely the saved and the Sav­ior are one—
Surely ’tis all for me!
All for me! All for me!
Surely ’tis all for me!
