Speak A Word For Jesus
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A gospel hymn from the 19th-century American revival tradition urging believers to share personal testimony about Jesus — his death, his help, and the strength and comfort he provides. Typical of the evangelistic, witness-focused songs popularized by Moody and Sankey campaigns.
Verse 1
Speak just a word for Jesus,
Tell how he died for you;
Often repeat the story,
Wonderful, glad, and true!
Chorus
Speak just a word,
Ever to Him be true;
Speak just a word,
Tell what He's doing for you!
Verse 2
Speak just a word for Jesus,
Tell how He helps you live;
Tell of the strength and comfort
Which He will freely give!
Chorus
Speak just a word,
Ever to Him be true;
Speak just a word,
Tell what He's doing for you!
Verse 3
Speak just a word for Jesus,
Do not for others wait;
Gladly proclaim the message
Soon it will be too late!
Chorus
Speak just a word,
Ever to Him be true;
Speak just a word,
Tell what He's doing for you!
Verse 4
Speak just a word for Jesus,
Why should you doubt or fear?
Surely His love will bless it;
Some one will gladly hear.
Chorus
Speak just a word,
Ever to Him be true;
Speak just a word,
Tell what He's doing for you!
Verse 5
Speak just a word for Jesus,
Tell of His love for men!
Some one distressed may listen,
Willing to trust Him then.
Chorus
Speak just a word,
Ever to Him be true;
Speak just a word,
Tell what He's doing for you!
