1 Is thy life too good for Jesus?
Wilt thou raffle it away?
In the giddy whirl of pleasure,
In the world's vain path so gay?
Wilt thou barter it for falsehood,
Sacrifice it unto lust?
What then, wilt thou do, my brother,
When the dust returns to dust?
What then, wilt thou do, my brother,
When the dust returns to dust.
2 Is thy life too good for Jesus?
Yet not too good to destroy?
He has given thee life's powers;
Wilt thou 'gainst Him them employ?
Ev'ry faculty He gave thee,
Ev'ry blessing of thy way;
Wilt thou prove thyself ungrateful,
And refuse thy Lord today?
Wilt thou prove thyself ungrateful
And refuse thy Lord today?
3 Yea, when sin had doomed and bound thee,
And when death alone could save
It was He who went to Calv'ry,
And His life for thy life gave;
It is Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Who hath died thee to redeem;
He sustains thee and yet loves thee;
Is thy life too good for Him?
He sustains thee and yet loves thee;
Is thy life too good for Him?
4 Give, O give thy life to Jesus,
Let His blood purge out thy sin;
Let the holy, heav'nly fire
Of the Holy Ghost come in;
Consecrate thy all to Jesus,
Let His life now thy life be;
"Christ is all" take as thy motto,
Let not sin reign over thee.
"Christ is all" take as thy motto
Let sin no more rule in thee.
