VERSE 1
Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His word
Once His gifts I wanted,
Now the Giver own
Once I sought for healing,
Now Himself alone
CHORUS
All in all forever
Jesus will sing
Ev’ry thing in Jesus
And Jesus ev’ry thing
VERSE 2
Once ’twas painful trying,
Now, ’tis perfect trust
Once a half salvation,
Now the uttermost
Once ’twas ceaseless holding,
Now He holds me fast
Once ’twas constant drifting,
Now my anchor’s cast
CHORUS
All in all forever
Jesus will sing
Ev’ry thing in Jesus
And Jesus ev’ry thing
VERSE 3
Once ’twas busy planning,
Now ’tis trustful pray’r
Once ’twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care
Once ’twas what I wanted,
Now what Jesus says
Once ’twas constant asking,
Now ’tis ceaseless praise
CHORUS
All in all forever
Jesus will sing
Ev’ry thing in Jesus
And Jesus ev’ry thing
VERSE 4
Once it was my working,
His it hence shall be
Once I tried to use Him,
Now He uses me Once the pow’r I wanted,
Now the Mighty One
Once for self labour’d,
Now for Him alone
CHORUS
All in all forever
Jesus will sing
Ev’ry thing in Jesus
And Jesus ev’ry thing
