1. What can I give for Jesus,
What can for love exchange?
The peace and joy and solace,
Giv’n me a sinner strange.
If all my substance offer,
For love so strong as death,
“It’s naught” He gently whispers,
“I chose thee from thy birth”.
2. “Thou art My child” said Jesus,
“In shadows of My hand;
My angels guard the righteous,
Thy thoughts I understand;
I know thy name for certain,
I set thee now on high,”
Called unto holy Zion,
Who can this truth belie?
3. “My Word can never alter,
Though mountains may depart,
All demons fear encounter,
The truths that I impart.
No weapon formed shall prosper,
No tongue in judgment rise,”
This heritage is proper,
For servants of the Christ.
4. “All sickness and oppression,
All fear and terror flee,
Great peace is true of children,
Their righteousness of Me”.
The Lord of old hath spoken,
With everlasting love,
His door is ever open,
With everlasting love,
His door is ever open,
With blessings from above.
5. O, Gentle Lamb from Heaven,
To Thee my life I owe;
May love like channels deepen,
Thy likeness more restore.
All earthly gain is but loss,
When Thou doth speak within,
Love’s meeting place be Thy cross,
When Thou hast vanquished sin.
