Will You Let Me Be Your Servant

1    Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you?

Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.

2    We are pilgrims on a journey, we are trav'lers on the road;

we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.

3    I will hold the Christ-light for you in the nighttime of your fear;

I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.

4    I will weep when you are weeping; when you laugh I'll laugh with you.

I will share your joy and sorrow till we've seen this journey through.

5    Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you?

Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.

Give Me Jesus

1    In the morning when I rise, in the morning when I rise,

in the morning when I rise, give me Jesus.

Refrain:  Give me Jesus, give me Jesus.

You may have all the rest, give me Jesus.

2    Dark midnight was my cry, dark midnight was my cry,

dark midnight was my cry, give me Jesus. 

Refrain:  Give me Jesus, give me Jesus.

You may have all the rest, give me Jesus.

3    Just about the break of day, just about the break of day,

just about the break of day, give me Jesus. 

Refrain:  Give me Jesus, give me Jesus.

You may have all the rest, give me Jesus.

4    Oh, when I come to die, oh, when I come to die,

oh, when I come to die, give me Jesus. 

Refrain:  Give me Jesus, give me Jesus.

You may have all the rest, give me Jesus.

5    And when I want to sing, and when I want to sing,

and when I want to sing, give me Jesus. 

Refrain:  Give me Jesus, give me Jesus.

You may have all the rest, give me Jesus.
