If you know where to get a good photo of Beesley (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
If all in life from me depart
My riches, strength and health,
I have my Savior in my heart,
And that is more than wealth.
Refrain
Jesus, my Savior, is all things to me;
He is my Savior who died on the tree,
Bringing redemption for you and for me;
Jesus, my Savior, is all things to me.
He keeps me from this world apart,
Spreads over me His wings;
He comes with fullness to my heart
And love and life He brings.
Refrain
My soul is filled with joy divine,
My heart with rapture thrills;
Since Christ the Lord I know is mine,
Sweet peace my being fills.
Refrain
Not day nor night nor flight of time
Can blight the ecstasy
Of holy bliss, serene, sublime,
My Savior gives to me.
Refrain
