A very dear friend recently shared the video below with me, and the words of the song continue to challenge me. I don't think there are too many of us who have not yielded to the temptation of giving God the parts of our lives that we want to, yet He stands patiently waiting for us to surrender all of it. "I Surrender All" is so much the heart's cry but it isn't always the easiest of things to do. It takes trust and an unwavering commitment to say to the Lord, "To you I give my life, not just the parts I want to / To you I sacrifice these dreams that I hold on to" and really mean it. But that is exactly what God asks of you and me, and being fully aware that I fall short in that area is why this song challenges me. Like Paul, I have not yet attained but am pressing towards that goal. I pray this song challenges you to full surrender.
To you I give my life, not just the parts I want to
To you I sacrifice these dreams that I hold on to
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
To you I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures that you've designed for free?
Because
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
To you I give my future
As long as it may last
To you I give my present
To you I give my past
Because
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
