Himself
Once it was the blessing, now it is the Lord;Once it was the feeling, now it is His word;
Once His gift I wanted, Now the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing, Now Himself alone.
All in all forever, Jesus will I sing;
Everything in Jesus, and Jesus everything.
Once it was painful trying, now it is perfect trust;
Once a half salvation, now the uttermost!
Once it was ceaseless holding, now He holds me fast;
Once it was constant drifting, now my anchor's cast.
Once it was busy planning, now it is trustful prayer;
Once a half salvation, now the uttermost!
Once it was anxious caring, now He has the care;
Once it was constant asking, now it is ceaseless praise.
Once it was my working, His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him, now He uses me;
Once the power I wanted, now the Mighty one;
Once it for self I laboured, now for Him alone.
Once I hoped in Jesus, now I know He's mine;
Once my lamps were dying, now they brightly shine!
Once for death I waited, now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored safe withing the veil.
All in all forever, Jesus will I sing;
Everything in Jesus, and Jesus everything.
For whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ. (Phil 3:8)
