Surrender All

The following hymn has been purging the fleshly desires of my heart. It confronts me with my utter need to depend on my deliverer.

"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;

fill me with thy love and power;

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.

O the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory, to his name!

I surrender all, I surrender all,

all to thee, my blessed Savior,

I surrender all. "

~ "I Surrender All", Words by J.W. Van Deventer, Music by W.S. Weeden

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the LORD and shun evil.

This will bring health to your body

and nourishment to your bones."

~ Proverbs 3:5-8 (NIV)

May I trust Him ever more..
