IT'S SO SWEET TO SERVE THE LORD JESUS

by SIXTUS ONYEANUSI  
10/31/2011 / Christian Living


It's so sweet to serve the Lord
It's sweet when you give Him all
If I had known before now
I would have known Him before now
But thank God I did'nt die yet
Would have been nothing but the dust of the Earth
Praise God that Jesus lives in me
So blessed to believe in Him
I've not seen something sweeter
I've not seen someone better
It's so sweet to serve the Lord
It's not the taste of the honeycomb
It's the taste of His goodness and mercy
The taste of love money can't buy
The sweet Holy Spirit makes Jesus sweeter by and by
The taste of joy flowing from His divine abiding presence
Oh, sweet peace and soothing rest I never knew!

It's so sweet to serve the Lord
His Spirit helps me do His word
When I need help, I find grace
He fails me not everyday
If I had known such joy is in Him
And the peace He puts within
I would have laid hold on Him earlier
I would have paid heed to His gospel
I would have opened wide my ear
I would have heartly joined God's people
But thank God I did'nt die yet
Thank God it wasn't so late
Thank God on Christ I put my faith
Thank God I didn't put off the date
Thank God I humbled myself
That would have been a costly mistake
Thank God I was not ashamed...
...when the gospel came
Praise God! Praise God again that I'm born again!
But praise God more that He upholds me in Him
He keeps me up; keeps me on to stay
He keeps me to abide in His way
I've tasted His sweet goodness
I've touched His sure mercies
I've tasted His pure lovingkindness
They all are durable blessings
My possessions in Jesus
Nothing tastes sweeter
...tastes real good
It's not the taste of a honeycomb
It tastes real good more than that taste
That is just temporal; it fades
But the sweetness of the goodness of the Lord,
...that sure goodness from above abides evermore

If I could recall my years wasted
I would have them invested
All to Jesus. To Him. To Him alone.
I'll give it all to Him. Just Him
All my times I should be redeeming!
He's given my life a meaning

I now have a sense of purpose. Yes, Heavenly kingdom purpose
I now live a life totally opposite
It's a life that's positive!

He's given me beauty for ashes
Joy for sorrow
Purity for uncleanness
Hope for tomorrow
Strength for weakness
Faith for fear
Diligence for laziness
Boldness for timidity
Peace for restlessness
Confidence for inferiority
I've got in Him more than I bargained for
Praise God that I'm born again!

Praise God again that I'm born again
Amidst thorns, He make me tread on roses
Amidst storms, He make me walk on the sea
He cares for me more than I think or feel
Such wondrous love I've never seen
I couldn't have known that such is real
His grace is sufficient in everyday,
In every place
In everything
He causes me to see light shining and breaking forth even when all around me is darkness, woes and decays
I lose not my joy-He Comforts me
I lose not my faith-I just rest in His unchanging grace to see His face
I go to Him, without doubt, He hears me from His throne
He never leaves me nor forsakes me
He exceedingly cares for His own
Praise the Lord Christ now lives in me

It's so sweet to serve the Lord
When trials come to make it bitter
The Spirit of my Jesus makes it sweeter
I'm so glad I belong to Jesus
Most times I imagine how disastrous
Life would have for me been
If I had refused Him that day
Thank God that He helped me obey
Thank God I didn't refuse Jesus
Thank God I took His word serious
The word of reconcilation
that reveals His cross of redemption
Oh, what a perfect salvation
His Blood washed away my curse
I'm so glad to have Jesus
I'm so much more glad that Jesus has me

Thank God I didn't refuse Jesus Christ
Thank God He's now my Refuge, my Rock and my Only Lord
He's the only life I've got

I'll say it again, It's sweet to serve Jesus
So sweet when you give Him all

I'll say it again and again, It's sweet to serve Jesus
So sweet when you give Him all
* * * * * *
It pays to serve Jesus I speak from my heart
He'll always be with us if we do our part
There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford
There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord!
* * * * *
I'll serve Him far better than in days of yore
I'll love Him more truly than ever before
I'll do as He bids me whatever the cost
I'll be a true soldier and die at my post

* * * * *
To thee Lord Jesus I pour out my heart
To delight in your word, and dwell in your path
All of You I need
I love You indeed.
