I've Given All to Jesus

Representative Text

1 A full surrender I have made,
I've given all to Jesus;
My all is on the altar laid,
I've given all to Jesus.

Chorus:
I've surrendered all,
I've surrendered all;
Everything is on the altar,
I've surrendered all.

2 My hands, my feet, my head, my heart,
I've given all to Jesus;
I've not retained a single part,
I've given all to Jesus. [Chorus]

3 My loss or gain, my hopes and fears,
I've given all to Jesus;
My health and strength, my grief and tears,
I've given all to Jesus. [Chorus]

4 My money, labors, burdens, cares,
I've given all to Jesus;
My voice, my pen, my songs, my prayers,
I've given all to Jesus. [Chorus]

5 My life, my love, my family,
I've given all to Jesus;
For time, and for eternity,
I've given all to Jesus. [Chorus]

Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill.
