What Will You Do With Jesus?
I had never heard of this hymn before but we sang it
the other night at home group.
What will you do with Jesus?
Albert B. Simpson, 1891.
Jesus is standing in Pilate’s hall,
Friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all;
Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call?
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain:
What will you do with Jesus?
Neutral you cannot be;
Some day your heart will be asking,
“What will He do with me?”
Jesus is standing on trial still,
You can be false to Him if you will,
You can be faithful through good or ill:
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
Will you evade him as Pilate tried?
Or will you choose Him, whate’er betide?
Vainly you struggle from Him to hide:
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
Will you, like Peter, your Lord deny?
Or will you scorn from His foes to fly,
Daring for Jesus to live or die?
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
“Jesus, I give Thee my heart today!
Jesus, I’ll follow Thee all the way,
Gladly obeying Thee!” will you say:
“This I will do with Jesus!”
Refrain
As I’ve played it over and over in my head these last few days it’s been a good reminder of what Christmas is all about. If you have not decided what to do with Jesus, I hope you will take a moment to stop running and make a decision for Christ today. If you have loved ones who have not made that decision I hope you will stop right now and say a prayer for them.
2 Corinthians 6:2…behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)
Finding Joy in the Journey — and wishing you all the richest blessings of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ.
