The Beauty Of Jesus In Me

The Beauty Of Jesus In Me

by Alice Hansche Mortenson

 

My life touched yours for a very brief space, 

And what, oh, what did you see? 

A hurried, a worried and anxious face, 

Or the beauty of Jesus in me?

 

Was I steeped so deep in the ways of the world 

That you couldn't detect one thing 

That would set me apart and show that my heart 

Belonged to the Heavenly King?

 

Did I carry no banner for Jesus my Lord, 

Not one thing at all that could show 

Whose side I am on in this glorious fight? 

I am His! But you wouldn't know.

 

Forgive me! And if we should e'er meet again 

Upon earth, oh, I pray you will see 

No mark of this world, but His banner unfurled

And the beauty of Jesus in me!
