'I Want To Live For Jesus' Poem by Greg Oosterhouse

I want to live for Jesus,
Let it be my only goal.
To live in love with others
And feed the hungry soul.

Oh, yes! To live for Jesus,
And put aside selfish ways.
To do the will of the Father
And glory in all my days!

Dwell in my heart, oh Jesus,
Stay there eternally.
Tell me the secret of living
A life that's free of 'Me! '

Oh, to not fold to man's will
Or follow their ideals,
But to live by the grace and mercy
Their dogma tries to steal.

Oh, to have the patience
To endure the trials of life.
Not to fail in a weak moment,
But to pray away the strife.

It helps to read the Bible
And pray everyday.
Focus on the Gospels
And you'll be on your way!


Lord, in all I do, may the glory go to You. Amen.
