For the joys and for the sorrows The best and worst of times
For this moment, for tomorrow For all that lies behind
Fears that crowd around me For the failure of my plans
For the dreams of all I hope to be The truth of what I am
For this I have Jesus For this I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus
For the tears that flow in secret In the broken times
For the moments of elation Or the troubled mind
For all the disappointments Or the sting of old regrets
All my prayers and longings That seem unanswered yet
For this I have Jesus For this I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus
For the weakness of my body The burdens of each day
For the nights of doubt and worry When sleep has fled away
Needing reassurance And the will to start again
A steely-eyed endurance The strength to fight and win
For this I have Jesus For this I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus For this I have Jesus
For this I have Jesus, I have Jesus
I have Jesus
Oh I have Jesus
