1. There’s a voice that whispers
To the willing heart,
And its words so tender
Joy and peace impart;
When in doubt or trouble,
To your heart be true,
Hear the Spirit saying:
What would Jesus do?

Refrain
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
Hear the Spirit saying:
What would Jesus do?

2. When some strong temptation
Holds you in its pow’r,
When a fear of failure
Haunts each waking hour,
You can end the conflict
And your fears subdue,
If you heed the message,
What would Jesus do? [Refrain]

3. Then no longer falter,
Then no longer fear,
Ev’ry path of duty
Will be bright and clear;
If you pray for wisdom,
It will come to you,
While the Spirit whispers,
What would Jesus do? [Refrain]
