Representative Text

1 Sin has left me sore and bleeding,
I surrender all to Thee;
Heal my wounds, my soul is pleading,
I surrender all to Thee.

Refrain:
I surrender, I surrender,
I surrender all to Thee;
I surrender, I surrender,
I surrender all to Thee.

2 Every evil thing confessing,
I surrender all to Thee;
Teach me how to be a blessing,
I surrender all to Thee. [Refrain]

3 Fill my heat to overflowing,
I surrender all to Thee;
Boundless peace and pow’r bestowing,
I surrender all to Thee. [Refrain]

4 Give me faith lest I should falter,
I surrender all to Thee;
Placing all upon Thine altar,
I surrender all to Thee. [Refrain]

5 May my life fulfill its duty,
I surrender all to Thee;
Find in Christ, its strength and beauty,
I surrender all to Thee. [Refrain]
