What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
Where in the world would I ever go, without Jesus?
Where would I be, how could I see,
How could I ever begin to be free?
What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
How in the world could I ever be true, without Jesus?
How in the world could I ever know, without Jesus?
What could I say, how could I pray?
Where’d be the meaning in any old day?
What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
I remember yesterday when I tried to do things my way,
A hard row to hoe and my troubles would carry me away.
But He gave me hope in a world that has none,
And a life that’s eternal with Him has begun.
What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
Where will I go if I leave this old world, without Jesus?
Who will dare save my soul from the grave, without Jesus?
Heaven or hell, sweet time will sure tell,
Who picked me up when to the bottom I fell?
What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
Where in the world would I ever go, without Jesus?
Where would I be, how could I see,
How could I ever begin to be free?
What in the world would I ever do, without Jesus?
Tertius
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world,
yet forfeit their soul?
Matthew 16:26
A note about “What in the World”: Lying in bed one night after waking up when I should have been sleeping my old bones were a bit achy and I thought to myself, “What in the World would I ever do without Jesus?’ I realized that, that was too good to roll over and go to sleep and so I turned on the light and wrote those words down and the rest quickly followed. A tune in my head moved me out to the camper outside my back door where I practice music and within an hour of waking up God had graced me with words and music complete. By 9:00 the next morning it was recorded. Just one more episode that confirms where all these gems come from. It ain’t me!
