1 My heart knows no Master but Jesus,
His will is my law ev’ry day;
He bought me, the price was His life blood,
As Lord in my life He holds sway.

Chorus:
Now my heart is His holy throne,
Consecrated to be His own;
All I am and have and hope to be,
I surrender eternally.

2 My heart knows no Master but Jesus,
So strong and so tender is He;
Instead of the hard yoke of bondage,
His yoke He has given to me. [Chorus]

3 My heart knows no Master but Jesus,
His service is now my delight;
And as I keep close to my Master,
He fills me with heavenly light. [Chorus]
