Giving My All

—Renee Adele Phillips
with Judson W. Van DeVenter (“I Surrender All”)

All to Jesus I surrender
Does it have to be all?
All to Him I freely give
I don’t know if I can. . .
I will ever love and trust Him
I try so hard to trust Him enough
In His presence daily live
But even in my trust, I fail daily.

I surrender all
 I don’t know how to let go of it all;
I surrender all
Some precious things I clench tightly in my fists.
All to Thee my blessed Savior
If I truly believe that You are my Savior,
I surrender all
Then I have to unclench my fists and give you all.

All to Jesus I surrender
I’m finally going to let go
Lord, I give myself to Thee
and stop fighting so hard to hold on.
Fill me with Thy love and power
My own power is an illusion;
Let Thy blessings fall on me
I need a heavenly rain.
 
All to Jesus I surrender
My hands are open, and I’m releasing it all–
Now I feel the sacred flame
Catch and hold me,
Oh, the joy of full salvation
Show me the freedom of absolute surrender;
Glory glory to His name!
And fill my open hands with grace.
