Stories Behind Great Hymns....... I Surrender All by Sam4ky(m): 4:47am On Jun 10, 2018 |
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 blessèd Savior, I surrender all. All to Jesus I surrender; Humbly at His feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken; Take me, Jesus, take me now. Refrain All to Jesus, I surrender; Make me, Savior, wholly Thine; Let me feel the Holy Spirit, Truly know that Thou art mine. Refrain All to Jesus, I surrender; Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power; Let Thy blessing fall on me. Refrain All to Jesus I surrender; Now I feel the sacred flame. O the joy of full salvation! Glory, glory, to His Name! Refrain Story: For many years I had been studying art. My whole life was wrapped up in its pursuit and the thing farthest from my mind was active Christian service. My dream was to become an outstanding and famous artist. After graduating from college, I studied drawing and painting under a well-known German teacher. To help me financially, I taught school and eventually I became supervisor of art in the public schools of Sharon, Pennsylvania. It was during this period in my life that a revival was held in the First Methodist Church of which I was a member. I became very interested in these meetings as a personal worker. The Spirit of God was urging me to give up teaching and to enter the evangelistic field, but I would not yield. I still had a burning desire to be an artist. This battle raged for five years. At last the time came when I could hold out no longer and I surrendered my all-my time and my talents. It was then that a new day was ushered into my life. I wrote I Surrender All in memory of the time when, after the long struggle, I had surrendered and dedicated my life to active Christian service for the Lord. Judson Van DeVenter Bible Verse Luke 14:33 - “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple” |

A very inspirational hymn. Dear Lord, I surrender all to you. Take absolute control of my entire life. I love you Jesus. |
