My hopes are all in Jesus, He saved me from my sin;
My hopes are all in Jesus, My hopes are all in Jesus,
My hopes are all in Jesus, And lives and reigns within.

3My all is found in Jesus, My all is found in Jesus,
My all is found in Jesus, He's all the world to me;
My all is found in Jesus, My all is found in Jesus,
My all is found in Jesus, And Jesus is all to me.
