I Surrender All
A meditation by Karen Drexler on this beautiful hymn
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.
Everything—my heart, my soul, my life, my plans, my family, the innermost parts of me-I give to Jesus, most wonderful & merciful Savior who died to take away my sins. I freely give Him my all just as He freely gives me the gift of salvation. I love Him forever with EVERYTHING that is in me and, no matter what, I trust His complete and perfect plan for my life. I want to live daily-minute by minute-in His presence, fully aware that He is there and with me each & every step of the way. I don’t want any part of my life to be without Him. I desire to grow in my knowledge of Him & my understanding of complete surrender.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
Everything to my Jesus I give with no hint of pride, or desire to do anything on my own, or for my own gain or glory. I lay it all down at His feet. He deserves all honor, glory, power & praise. He is better than any worldly pleasure. Nothing I can imagine is more precious than Him. And nothing I can imagine would bring more joy than living my life for Him.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
Everything to You, Jesus, I give. I ask you to make me ALL yours. Mold & shape each part of me into Your image. Search me & know my heart, see any wicked ways in me & cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I give Your Holy Spirit full control of all of me. I ask that my eyes be opened step by step as Your perfect plan unfolds to the ways I need to change and purify my heart and life.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
I give you ALL, dear Jesus. There is nothing I desire to hold back & I ask that you show me anywhere in my life I am unintentionally doing that. And when you show me, please help me to change, knowing I can do it only in Your strength. I ask you to fill me with Your precious, grace-filled, merciful, redeeming love. Fill me with Your strength & power. I know I can do NOTHING without You, and I believe that nothing is too difficult for You. Please bless me abundantly, according to Your will & plan. Please bless those I love. You know them each by name. Please call them to You. As You pour out Your showers of blessings--blessings I could not even imagine--in those blessings, USE me to glorify Your Name and show others of Your indescribable love and the joy of walking with You, no matter what the cost.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
O Jesus, as I surrender myself to You, I am filled with peace and joy beyond measure. My cup runs over with thankfulness for Your undeserved gift of salvation. I give all--nothing held back--to You, my strength and my Redeemer. In the calm and in the storm, I praise Your Name.
