Just a Word for Jesus

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1870
Composer: Howard Doane

Now just a word for Je­sus;

Your dear­est friend so true;

Come

cheer our hearts and tell us

What He hath done for you.

Now just a word for Je­sus

’Twill help us on our way!

One lit­tle word for Je­sus

Oh speak

or sing

or pray!

Now just a word for Je­sus;

You feel your sins for­giv­en

And by His grace are striv­ing

To reach a home in Heav­en.

Now just a word for Je­sus;

A cross it can­not be

To say

I love my Sav­ior

Who gave His life for me.

Now just a word for Je­sus;

Let not the time be lost;

The heart’s ne­glect­ed du­ty

Brings sor­row

to its cost.

Now just a word for Je­sus;

And if your faith be dim;

Arise in all your weak­ness

And leave the rest to Him.
