Lyrics

I want to do something for Je­sus,
He suffered and died on the tree;
That I thro’ His death might have pardon—
He’s done so much for me!

Refrain

I want to do something for Je­sus,
Tho’ weak and unworthy I be;
I’ll labor for Him, my dear Sav­ior—
He’s done so much for me!

I want to do something for Je­sus,
Because He from sin made me free;
He rescued my soul from all danger,
He’s done so much for me!

Refrain

I want to do something for Je­sus,
His servant I’m willing to be;
I’ll tell of His love and His mercy,
He’s done so much for me!

Refrain

I want to do something for Je­sus,
That others His great love may see;
Forever I’ll sing the sweet story,
He’s done so much for me!
