Jesus Lives In Me

Jesus Lives In Me

 


Oh I want to be like Jesus in everything I do

Lord I never want to disappoint you

But this war inside my spirit rages on and on

And though I fight with all my might

Sometimes I’m just not strong

At times I want to quit this race that

I’ve been called to run

But then I stop and think on you and all that you have done

Then I realize I’m just a man the victory’s not in me

But it’s in the blood that you shed when you died on Calvary

 

Then my heart sings and the joy of the Lord fills my soul

And I find the strength in you, I need to carry on

Although I’m just a man and weak I may be

I have the strength to fight the fight

Because Jesus lives in me

 

Lord you’ve always been faithful yet you I’ve always failed

You created Heaven, I deserve no more than hell

Yet you desired that I should be forever by your side

So you left your home, you left your throne

And came to earth to die

You paid a price upon the cross that I could never pay

With your blood you cleansed my soul and washed my sins away

 

And my heart sings and the joy of the Lord fills my soul

And I find the strength in you, I need to carry on

Although I’m just a man and weak I may be

This race I run Ill finish

Because Jesus lives in me

 

So though I sometimes stumble and slip along the way

And though I sometimes fall down I will not stay

For even in the darkest night there’s an unseen hand

Who picks me up when I fall and helps me to stand

 

And my heart sings and the joy of the Lord fills my soul

And I find the strength in you, I need to carry on

Although I’m just a man and weak I may be

This race I run I’ll finish

Because Jesus lives in me
