Nothing’s quite so precious As Jesus in my spirit. He takes away the care And fills me with His peace. He never leaves me, E’en as the days grow weary. His presence goes with me. My soul delights to hide in His arms. |
| I call His name, “Lord Jesus, Help me in my weakness.” So faithfully each day in me He proves His life is so sufficient. |

Nothing’s quite so precious As Jesus in my spirit. He turns my heart to Him, To feast upon His life. It’s nothing I do— His mercy’s just upon me. And God’s free gift of grace Becomes an endless joy to me. |

"It's nothing I do..." Such a simple declaration based on Galatians 2:20; 1 Corinthians 15:10. How could my doing compare with His, so I just rest in Him and let Him do through me and with me, but not by me.

Jesus is in our mingled spirit. Hallelujah!

I learned about this hymn from my sister. I like the lyrics and the tune, but I find it rather difficult to sing along. This is a wonderful site, but it would be very very much better if there would be someone singing the hymn so it would be easy for newbies like me to follow. Just a little suggestion.

Wonderful, sweet, & simple song to sing to the Lord:) So very true, nothing is quite so precious as Jesus in our spirit. May His mercy & grace continue to reach day by day, so that we may continue to enjoy Him & love Him whatever may be happening in our environment. Lord Jesus we lovely...we really love You!

I really enjoy the comments of Steve Miller throughout this website, helping us to enjoy the hymns more by providing historical context and great musical comments. Brother Steve, I believe Galatians 2:20 strongly supports "It's nothing I do". "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." Also in another portion Paul says: "I labored more abundantly than all of them - yet not I but the grace of God in me." So it is not that nothing is DONE. It is that what is done does not issue from ME. I died. A dead person can do nothing, by definition. So there is nothing for ME to do, I have turned it over to God and his mercy, for Him to do it all. You may enjoy the book "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life" by Hannah Whitall Smith on this topic, or "The Overcoming LIfe" by Watchman Nee.
