Hymn 98

I want to walk with Jesus Christ

C. Simmonds

Verse 1

I want to walk with Jesus Christ,

All the days I live of this life on earth,

To give to Him complete control

Of body and of soul.

Verse 2

Follow Him, follow Him, yield your life to Him,

He has conquered death, He is King of kings;

Accept the joy that he gives to those

Who yield their lives to Him.

Verse 3

I want to learn to speak to Him,

To pray to Him, confess my sin

To open my life and let Him in,

For joy will then be mine.

Verse 4

I want to learn to speak of Him,

My life must show that He lives in me,

My deeds, my thoughts, my words must speak

All of His love for me.

Verse 5

I want to learn to read His word,

For this is how I know the way

To live my life as pleases Him,

In holiness and joy.

Verse 6

O Holy Spirit of the Lord,

Enter now into this heart of mine,

Take full control of my selfish will

And make me wholly Thine.
