Houses and lands I may not own
Wealth and riches to be known
Great Jehovah owns this world don't you see
But underneath His loving wings, I'm as happy as a king
I claim Jesus, first and that's enough for me.
I claim Jesus, first of all, He will answer when I call
For I'm a soul that the Son set free!
But underneath His loving wings, I'm as happy as a king
I claim Jesus, first and that's enough for me!

To the "guest" who wrote in 2014 that her/his grandmother, Beulah Durham, wrote "I Claim Jesus First of All," could you tell me more about your grandmother? I'm working on a book Sallie Martin.
thanks,

I Claim Jesus First Of All


(Verse 1)

Houses and lands I may not own, many riches are unknown. A little person in
this world I may be. I can't keep up with the style, but I know I'm God's own
child and I claim Jesus first and that's enough for me.

(Refrain)

I claim Jesus first of all, he will answer when I call for I know I am a
soul the Son set free. I am God's own child by birth,
highest honor on this earth and I claim Jesus first and that's enough for me.

(Verse 2)

Others live on wealth and pride, I am poor but satisfied. Great Jehovah owns
this whole world don't you see? Underneath His loving wing, I'm as happy
as a king and I claim Jesus first and that's enough for me.

(Verse 3)

Jesus saved my sinful soul, took away my heavy load
gave me peace and grace now my cup's overflown.
Now I sing this song to thee cause Jesus Blood hath made me free,
and I claim Jesus first and that's enough for me.

I Claim Jesus First of All
Written by Beulah Durham


Verse I

Houses and lands I may not own, earthly riches be unknown.
Little person in this world I may be.
I can’t keep up with the styles, but I know I’m God’s own child.
I claim Jesus first, and that’s enough for me.

Chorus:

I claim Jesus first of all; He will answer when I call!
For I know I have a soul that the Son set free.
I am God’s own child by birth, highest honor on this earth.
I claim Jesus first, and that’s enough for me.

Verse II

Others live in wealth and pride, I am poor but satisfied.
Great Jehovah owns this world now don’t you see.
Underneath his loving wing, I am as happy as a king.
I claim Jesus first, and that’s enough for me.

Verse III

I remember the time and place, when he saved me by his grace.
And I left this world of sin down on my knees.
Jesus caught my falling soul, but its better felt than told!
I claim Jesus first, and that’s enough for me.
