Lyrics

Is your life ful­ly yielded to Je­sus?
Is He King alone in your soul?
Is the gov­ern­ment placed on His shoul­der,
Not on­ly in part, but the whole?

Do you look for His guid­ance in all things?
Do you trust Him with ev­ery care?
Do you keep in His pre­sence each mo­ment,
And al­ways your joy with Him share?

Do you sit at His feet in the morn­ing,
And wait ere you go on your way;
Seeking first for the strength and the wis­dom,
To live to His glo­ry all day?

Do you trust Him for vic­to­ry ev­er,
Over self and Sa­tan and sin?
Do you fol­low the sure, gen­tle lead­ing
Of God’s Ho­ly Spir­it with­in?
