1
Yon vi pou Jezi bay lapè
Kou yon rivyè ki pa rete;
Difikilte yo konn vini
Men Jezi la, e sa sifi.

Kè
Ede m sèvi Ou plis chak jou,
Pou m rete toujou avèk Ou;
M renmen Ou, Kris, pi plis chak jou;
Pa kite mwen ale lwen ou.

2
Yon vi pou Jezi bay repo,
Li wete nan mwen sa ki fo;
Pawòl Li se laverite;
L a gide m pou letènite.

3
Yon vi pou Jezi bay lajwa
Paske mwen sove pa lafwa;
Zanmi yo mèt abandone m,
Jezi fidèl, Li va kenbe m.

4
Yon vi pou Jezi bay viktwa,
Avèk Li m mache pazapa;
Kris te venk diab, lemonn, lachè;
Kounye a mwen pa bezwen pè.

Translated from Kreyol version: “A Life For Jesus Gives Peace”

1
A life for Jesus gives peace
The course of a river that does not stay;
Difficulties often come
But Jesus is here, and that is enough.

Chorus:
Help me serve You more every day,
To remain always with You;
I love You, Christ, more every day;
Don’t let me go away from you.

2
A life for Jesus gives rest,
He has taken from me what is false;
His word is truth;
He will guide me for eternity.

3
A life for Jesus gives joy
Because I am saved by faith;
My friends may abandon me,
Jesus is faithful, He will hold me.

4
A life for Jesus gives victory,
With Him I walk step by step;
Christ overcame the devil, the world, the flesh;
Now I don’t need to be afraid.

original English song: “Living For Jesus, Oh What Peace”
1
Living for Jesus, oh, what peace!
Rivers of pleasure never cease;
Trials may come, yet I’ll not fear,
Living for Jesus, He is near.

Refrain:
Help me to serve Thee more and more,
Help me to praise Thee o’er and o’er;
Live in Thy presence day by day,
Never to turn from Thee away.

2
Living for Jesus, oh, what rest!
Pleasing my Savior, I am blest;
Only to live for Him alone,
Doing His will till life is done.
3
Living for Jesus, everywhere,
All of my burdens He doth bear;
Friends may forsake me, He’ll be true;
Trusting in Him, He’ll guide me through.
4
Living for Jesus, till at last
Into His glory I have passed;
There to behold Him on His throne,
Hear from His lips, “My child, well done!”
