I Surrender All

1. All to Jesus I surrender;
   All to Him I freely give;
   I will ever love and trust Him,
   In His presence daily live.
   • Refrain:
     I surrender all,
     I surrender all;
     All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
     I surrender all.
2. All to Jesus I surrender;
   Humbly at His feet I bow,
   Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
   Take me, Jesus, take me now.
3. All to Jesus I surrender;
   Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
   Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
   Truly know that Thou art mine.
4. All to Jesus I surrender;
   Lord, I give myself to Thee;
   Fill me with Thy love and power;
   Let Thy blessing fall on me.
5. All to Jesus I surrender;
   Now I feel the sacred flame.
   Oh, the joy of full salvation!
   Glory, glory, to His Name!

"I surrender all." How dare I sing these words? I don't have to look hard at my own life to see the areas where I have not surrendered all. The things I hold onto foolishly thinking I can control them.

As Paul says in Philippians 1:21, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Am I willing to surrender my life. Spiritually and physically and in every way possible. Would I be willing to die today for Christ's glory? It's easy to say yes, but do I really mean it? I've got a long ways to go still before I can truly say, "I surrender all."
