Have I Done My Best for Jesus?
Words by Ensign Edwin Young
Music by Harry E. Storrs

          I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus,
          Who died upon the cruel tree?
          To think of His great sacrifice at Calv'ry!
          I know my Lord expects the best from me.

            Chorus
            How many are the lost that I have lifted?
            How many are the chained I've helped to free?
            I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus,
            When He has done so much for me?

          The hours that I have wasted are so many,
          The hours I've spent for Christ so few;
          Because of all my lack of love for Jesus,
          I wonder if His heart is breaking too.

            Chorus
            How many are the lost that I have lifted?
            How many are the chained I've helped to free?
            I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus,
            When He has done so much for me?

          I wonder, have I cared enough for others,
          Or have I let them die alone?
          I might have helped a wand'rer to the Savior,
          The seed of precious Life I might have sown.

            Chorus
            How many are the lost that I have lifted?
            How many are the chained I've helped to free?
            I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus,
            When He has done so much for me?

          No longer will I stay within the valley,
          I'll climb to mountain heights above;
          The world is dying now for want of someone,
          To tell them of the Savior's matchless love.

            Chorus
            How many are the lost that I have lifted?
            How many are the chained I've helped to free?
            I wonder, have I done my best for Jesus,
            When He has done so much for me?
