1 Jesus my Lord will love me forever,
From him no pow'r of evil can sever;
He gave his life to ransom my soul-
Now I belong to him!
Refrain:
Now I belong to Jesus,
Jesus belongs to me-
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.
2 Once I was lost in sin's degradation,
Jesus came down to bring me salvation,
Lifted me up from sorrow and shame-
Now I belong to him! [Refrain]
3 Joy floods my soul, for Jesus has saved me,
Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me;
His precious blood he gave to redeem-
Now I belong to him! [Refrain]
