I Surrender All

I know most of you have heard this song a zillion times, but it actually clicked this morning during church. Perry spoke on the "Christmas Story," and one of the verses in Luke 2 says "GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST..." this is what our purpose here on earth is to be about. Perry also talked about when Jesus was born the shepherds left their livelihood (which was their sheep.)What "sheep" do you need to leave behind? The song that he challenged us with is the one listed below. I pray that you read over the words, and let them actually soak in. We are to Surrender All, Everything to Him..NOT just the little things. If you would like to watch Perry's message it will be up sometime Tuesday at http://www.newspring.cc/. Hope this sermon rocks your world as much as it did mine. Are you surrendering ALL or just the pieces you are willing to give up?



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.

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;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
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.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
