CHORUS:
Jesus is all, the world to me
Jesus gave all, He set me free
He loves me (He loves me)
He saves me (He saves me)
Jesus is all, the world to me
VERSE 1:
Jesus is all the world to me,
And I'm gonna keep it that way
No matter what the world might offer me,
No matter what people say
When the tempter tries to sit in disguise
As Lord on the throne of my soul
I point to the Word, my shield
And my sword, for Jesus is in control
CHORUS:
Jesus is all, the world to me
Jesus gave all, He set me free
He loves me (He loves me)
He saves me (He saves me)
Jesus is all, the world to me
VERSE 2:
Jesus is all the world to me
And I'm gonna keep it right there
The accuser tries with slander and lies
To fill me with shame and fear
But on the judgment day I'll be proud
To say, 'I'm a sinner that's saved by grace,'
The Word is clear, I've nothing to fear
For Jesus never lost a case
CHORUS:
Jesus is all, the world to me
Jesus gave all, He set me free
He loves me (He loves me)
He saves me (He saves me)
Jesus is all, the world to me
VERSE 3:
Jesus is all the world to me
And I'm gonna see Him someday
Together we strive working side by side
Leading sinners in the gospel way
From death to life
Free from trouble and strife
Redeemed, triumphant and true
Caught up in the sky
To that home on high
When Jesus makes all things new
CHORUS:
Jesus is all, the world to me
Jesus gave all, He set me free
He loves me (He loves me)
He saves me (He saves me)
Jesus is all, the world to me
VERSE 4:
Jesus is all the world to me
And I’m gonna keep it right there
He gives me everything I need
And I never wonder if He cares
‘Cos He loves me, He saves me,
He blessed me, forgave me
He’s everything to me
And I’m never gonna go astray
VERSE 5:
Jesus is all the world to me
I want no other friend
I love Him now I'll love Him when
This fleeting life shall end
Jesus is all the world to me
My friend in trials sore
I go to Him for blessings and
He gives it to me o'er and o’er
CHORUS:
Jesus is all, the world to me
Jesus gave all, He set me free
He loves me (He loves me)
He saves me (He saves me)
Jesus is all, the world to me
STORY:
Josh is one of the most talented song writers I know. He’s really gifted - not only musically, but especially lyrically. He helps me tweak my songs and words to make it flow a lot better. This is the first song we’ve co-written. I love the sentiment of this song both in words and tune. Our friend Ryan lent his vocal chops on this track. This song is a fun one to teach, especially on the chorus.
