Lyrics

With eve­ry power, with heart and soul,
I be­long to Je­sus!
He shall my ev­ery thought con­trol,
I be­long to Je­sus!

Refrain

I be­long to Je­sus! I be­long to Je­sus!
I be­long to Je­sus, He be­longs to me!

What tho’ temp­ta­tions sore be­set,
I be­long to Je­sus!
What tho’ earth’s cares an­noy and fret,
I be­long to Je­sus!

Refrain

In vain the world my heart al­lures,
I be­long to Je­sus!
In weak­ness this my soul as­sures,
I be­long to Je­sus!
