Thought for the week

All to Jesus, I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

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.

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.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!


I've decided this will be my song for the week. I was listening to it as a drove to work this morning and it helped me put some perspective on some stuff. I want to be able to live the words of this song. I want to be able to surrender it all to God: my fears, my insecurities, my doubts, my frustration, my hopes, and my expectations. Good or bad, I don't want to hold on to stuff and act like I can handle it. God has proved to me countless times that I can't handle it... why do I keep trying?!?
