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!
