1. Leaving all to follow Jesus,
Turning from the world away;
Stepping out upon His promise,
All I have is His today.
Chorus:
Leaving all to follow Jesus,
(Leaving all to follow, follow Jesus,)
Turning from the world away;
(Turning, turning from the world away;)
Stepping out upon His promise,
(Stepping out upon His blessed promise,)
All I have is His today.
2. Naught reserving, on the altar
All I lay, and wait the hour,
When the fire from heav’n descending
Shall attest His glorious pow’r.
3. Taking up the cross for Jesus,
Glad for Him to suffer shame,
All my gain I count but losses,
For the glory of His name.
4. Walking still by faith in Jesus,
Trusting till He gives me sight;
When my chastened soul is ready,
He will lead me to the light.
5. Praise His precious name forever,
That His blood hath made me free;
Now my soul shall joy to tell it,
Thro’ the long eternity.
