Moment by Moment

Words: Daniel W. Whittle (1893)
Music: May Whittle Moody

This song highlights a very important matter in our Christian lives; the matter of subjectively walking with Jesus and enjoying the presence of Jesus moment by moment. It is true that Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for us, so that anyone who believes in Him can have eternal life, but this life isn't just a future place that many of us (including myself) often think of it as. This life is Christ Himself. He testified many times in the Bible that He is the "bread of life" and the "way, the truth, and the life.." In singing this song I realized that Jesus not only wants to save us so we can go to heaven, but even more than that, He wants us to come to Him everyday, to invite Him into the mundane things of life, and turn to Him moment by moment.
Austin Funk

1. Dying 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.

Chorus:
Moment 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.

2. Never a battle with wrong for the right,
Never a contest that He doth not fight;
Lifting above us His banner so white;
Moment by moment I’m kept in His sight.

3. Never 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.

4. Never 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.

5. Never a weakness that He doth not feel,
Never a sickness that He cannot heal;
Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,
Jesus, my Savior, abides with me still.
