"Have I Done My Best For Jesus?"

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?

(We sang this song before a wonderful Bible study on the word "good' tonight by Pastor Fosmark. 
So convicting)

I'm always convicted when I sing this one. It's a great song!
