I’ve chosen the Lord Jesus

I’ve chosen the Lord Jesus, My very world to be; His love is so abundant, He fills my every need. O Lord, I am Your vessel Which only You can fill; All Sychar’s wells exhausting, I’m thirsty still. |
Oh, Jesus Christ! He is the One for me! My heart’s abiding at the source Of every sweetest thing. Oh, Jesus Christ! He all my heart doth fill; With Him, I have no other plea, In Him, my heart is still. |

I’ve chosen the Lord Jesus, My very joy to be, With Him my heart, though aching, Has still a song to sing. With Him, I need no reason To shout exultantly, For all my jubilation From Him does spring. |

I’ve chosen the Lord Jesus, My very hope to be, I muse on all the vastness Of wealth to me bequeathed; And yet, ’tis the Provider I treasure and desire; To gain the best—Christ Jesus— My heart aspires. |

I’ve chosen the Lord Jesus, My very Lord to be; His love defies description, One taste will conquer thee. My all I’ve consecrated, And naught from Him implore, But that my Lord be happy, And grieved no more. |
