127. I'll Live and Die for Jesus

1 The Great Physician came to me,
And healed my soul's diseases;
O bless his name, he set me free,
I'll live and die for Jesus.

Chorus:
On wings of faith each day I rise,
To catch the heav'nly breezes;
My soul is pressing toward the skies,
I'll live and die for Jesus.

2 His yoke is easy, this I find,
He ev'ry burden eases;
He daily gives me peace of mind,
I'll live and die for Jesus. [Chorus]

3 The things of sin, I once did love,
No more my spirit pleases;
My sweetest joys are from above,
I'll live and die for Jesus. [Chorus]

4 And when at last the hand of death
From sin and sorrow frees us,
We'll upward soar, with closing breath,
To live on high with Jesus. [Chorus]
