Have I Done My Best for Jesus?

lyricist: Edwin Young, 1923
Composer: Harry Storrs

I won­der

have I giv’n my best to Je­sus

Who died up­on the cru­el tree?

To think of His great sac­ri­fice at Cal­v’ry

I know my Lord ex­pects the best from me.

How ma­ny are the lost that I have lift­ed?

How ma­ny are the chained I’ve helped to free?

I won­der

have I done my best for Je­sus

When He has done so much for me?

The hours that I have wast­ed are so many

The hours I’ve spent for Christ so few.

Because of all my lack of love for Je­sus

I won­der if His heart is break­ing

too?

I won­der

have I cared enough for oth­ers

Or have I let them die alone?

I might have helped a wan­d’rer to the Sav­ior

The seed of pre­cious Life I might have sown.

No long­er will I stay with­in the val­ley

I’ll climb to mount­ain heights above;

The world is dy­ing now for want of some­one

To tell them of the Sav­ior’s match­less love.
