[Verse 1]
C Em
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
F G7 C C7
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
F Em Am
There is none in heav'n nor on earth like Thee,
Dm F G
With Thy beauty none can compete.
C Em
When Thy voice first came to my ear,
F G7 C C7
Whisp'ring in my heart chords most dear,
F Em Am
All past loves and aims lost their charm for me,
Dm F G
All my boasts so vain now appear.
[Chorus]
C G
Throughout all the world, who compares with Thee?
Am Em
Who so full of worth, who so fair and sweet
F Em Am
Only Thou art worthy my love to win,
F D G
O Lord Jesus, how I love Thee!
C E E7
No more I who live, no more self-deceived,
Am Em
No more in the self's world indulged to be,
F C G Am
Deep within I know you're my only love,
F G7 C F C
My best love is none else but Thee!
[Verse 2]
C Em
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
F G7 C C7
I was once rebellious and hard,
F Em Am
But I drop it all now to come to Thee,
Dm F G
Self forsake, that like Thee I’d be.
C Em
When I live, be it Thou, I pray,
F G7 C C7
Not self’s will, but God’s I’d obey;
F Em Am
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I’d seek;
Dm F G
No more struggling, fully at peace.
[Chorus]

My best love is none else but Thee!
[Verse 3]
C Em
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
F G7 C C7
We two never, ever will part;
F Em Am
Thy dear presence is all my breath and might;
Dm F G
Thy dear smile is all my delight.
C Em
I would pour my heart out to Thee,

Love Thee, serve Thee, joined utterly;

My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
Dm F G
My one hope, Thy coming to see.
