As we conclude this week's focus on the word “surrender” take time to consider your life and the people in it. Consider your behaviors, routines, schedules, and decisions. There is likely something you should surrender—give up control, power, or possession to someone else. But don’t surrender to just anyone—Surrender All to Jesus.
I Surrender All….
By Judson W. Van DeVenter (1896)
All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live.
All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken, Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender, Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit, Truly know that Thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender, Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me.
All to Jesus I surrender, Now I feel the sacred flame;
Oh, the joy of full salvation! Glory, glory, to His Name!
Refrain:
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all.
May the words to this song provide solice and direction.
