Moment by Moment

Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]

1Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine, Living with Jesus, a new life divine,
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine, Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.

RefrainMoment by moment I'm kept in His love;
Moment by moment I've life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.

2Never a trial that He is not there, Never a burden that He doth not bear,
Never a sorrow that He doth not share, Moment by moment, I'm under His care.

3Never a heartache, and never a groan, Never a teardrop and never a moan,
Never a danger but there on the throne, Moment by moment He thinks of His own.

4Never a weakness that He doth not feel, Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,
Jesus my Savior, abides with me still, Moment by moment I'm kept in His love.
