Give your whole life to Jesus

1.
Give your whole life to Jesus;
He’ll guide you every day.
He is our one true Leader,
Who opened up the way.
Through Him we have the access
Into the sanctu’ry;
He made a full atonement;
In Him you’re truly free.
Chorus:
O let Him guide you daily;
Yield to His voice within.
Then you will be united
In death and life with Him.
Bend now your will completely;
Give Him your life to mold
Into His own blest image,
Glorious as pure gold.
2.
Offer yourself entirely;
Enter the covenant.
Strive unto blood ’gainst sinning.
God by His Word will grant
That you will win the vict’ry
Over each enemy
Which in your flesh arises,
And overcome as He.
3.
Rest will be e’er your portion
As you His Word obey.
He’ll give you peace and gladness;
He has prepared the way.
God’s sharp Word cleaves asunder,
Spirit from flesh, divides.
If you will let Him do this,
You’ll be His own chaste bride.
