BUT AS FOR ME ILL TAKE JESUS DOWN IN MY HEART

Post by wyatt lee carroll » Fri Sep 11, 2026 4:11 pm

Good day to you folks at Name That Hymn,

I wonder if you might be so kind as to lend me a hand in finding the lyrics to “But As for Me, I’ll Take Jesus Down in My Heart” by Marietta Wolfe.

I have tried my best to make out the words from the recording, but unfortunately the song is rather muffled, and my hearing is not good enough to catch all of the lyrics. I’m afraid I’ve listened to it several times and still cannot quite make out what is being sung.

If there is someone among you with better hearing than I have, I would be most grateful if you could listen closely and help me find the words to this song. It would be a great kindness, and I would certainly appreciate your help.

Thank you kindly, and God bless you all.

SIncerely- Wyatt.

Thanks kristyjw for posting the link.
If you want to give it another listen, to fill in and/or correct,
here's what we have so far:

You may have your riches for a while
and you may live in ? in style
but as for me I’ll take Jesus down in my heart

You make talk about your worldly ?
?
but as for me I’ll take Jesus down in my heart

I wouldn’t trade what I have in my soul for anything
Why should I long for things of this world
When in my heart I have His peace
You may have your worldly pleasure
and all the thrills they might impart
but as for me I’ll take Jesus down in my heart

if to Him I’m true and ? content
Then I will give ? happiness
but i’m so glad I’ve got Jesus down in my heart

I’ll ? to have His Spirit within
? to when He comes within
i’m so gladI’ve got Jesus down in my heart

I wouldn’t trade what I have in my soul for anything
Why should I long for things of this world
When in my heart I have His peace
You may have your worldly pleasure
and all the thrills they might impart
but as for me I’ll take Jesus down in my heart
