G Em
Having Jesus in my heart,
G Em
recollecting hour by hour
G Em
how I've failed to do my part
C D7 G
how my sins have turned me sour:
C Em
having Jesus in my heart,
G Am
His communion and his love,
G C
I don't want to live apart again.
Em Am G
Oh Jesus, keep me safe!
G Em
Without Jesus in my heart
G Em
I don't like the taste of talk;
G Em
without Jesus in my heart
C D7 G
I cannot enjoy my thought;
C Em
without Jesus in my heart
G Am
not one action bears good fruit.
G C
Jesus, walk before me, walk behind me,
Em Am G
ease me in my plight!
G Em
For with Jesus in my heart
G Em
and with Jesus on my lips
G Em
I can bear to do my part,
C D7 G
I can rise if I should lapse.
C Em
I delight as glories pass
G Am
glimpsing in my looking glass
G C
fleeting glances of the Lord, my Love.
Em Am G
Oh Jesus, never leave!
