1 I serve the Lord from day to day
Because I love Him so;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And trod the paths of woe.

Chorus:
I serve Him because I love Him,
I love Him because He first loved me,
I give Him my heart’s devotion
For time and eternity.

2 Communing with my Lord divine,
In fellowship so blest,
I worship Him who saves my soul,
And keeps my heart at rest. [Chorus]

3 What holy rapture, blessed peace,
And joy beyond compare,
Within my happy soul resides,
Since Jesus entered there. [Chorus]

4 I serve the Lord with joyfulness,
His love enfolds my heart;
Thro’ all the ceaseless years to come,
From Him I will not part. [Chorus]
