141. I’m His Own

1 God is my Father, caring for me;
I’m His own;
Heir to a kingdom I am to be;
I’m His own;
He is preparing a home on high,
Where there are mansions beyond the sky;
There I shall dwell with Him bye and bye,
I’m His own.

Refrain:
Joybells daily are ringing within my happy heart;
Sunshine floods all my being and shadows depart,
For I’m living with Jesus, O how He keeps me with love unknown,
When He is near there’s nothing to fear,
For I’m His own.

2 Ev’ry temptation He helps to bear
I’m His own;
Ways of escape He’s sure to prepare;
I’m His own;
For ev’ry need there’s a promise true;
Strength for each day He will give anew,
And each dark hour He will see me thro’;
I’m His own. [Refrain]

3 When by affliction I am oppressed,
I’m His own;
He whispers sweetly, “I’ll give thee rest;”
I’m His own;
When thro’ the valley of death I go,
Jesus will lead tho’ dark waters flow,
And thro’ eternity’s years I’ll know,
I’m His own. [Refrain]
