It's interesting to me that as I am in a struggle with the Church of today I find myself desiring to go back to my "spiritual roots" and sit in a Baptist sanctuary each Sunday and sing hymns and enter back into the kind of structure that I haven't been a part of in a very long time since I have been in a non-denominational church for so long.
I LOVE this hymn. Okay, confession. I love most every hymn. They seem much more God focused than us focused like the contemporary song of today. Or perhaps that just my struggle focused perspective I carry with me these days! :)
But back to the hymn...
I don't think I really know what true surrender is. I think I'm learning (slowly, oh so sloooooooowly!) but I don't think I fully grasp it yet. What makes it okay that I haven't gotten the fullness of surrender yet is God's grace. His grace carries me through my stumblings. I've had glimpses, I've experienced glimpses of surrendering all for him but I haven't made the 100% transition yet. Who has? I'm not sure anyone has yet because we are all in process and his grace is leading us through. Thank goodness my Creator knows my heart and he knows my heart is to surrender ALL to him.
All To Jesus I Surrender (with vocals)
All To Jesus I Surrender (instrumental - 11 minutes long which includes a couple of instrumental versions of the song! For a more upbeat version skip ahead to 3:30! :) )
