Story Behind The Song
This is my "crossroads" song. I initially wrote it out of desire rather than solidarity. Knowing that I needed to fully relinquish all of me and give way "completely" to Christ's cause, now my prayerful pursuit is that I find myself losing myself fully in His divine purpose for this complex life of mine.
Song Description
This song is about letting go of the things of this world as well as my own agenda and completely allowing God to do His perfect work in me.

I surrender all to You Jesus
I surrender every part of me
Use me as I am
Lord I surrender
I surrender all to You
Chorus:
I give You my life
It's in Your hands
I lift up my voice
Surrender my plans
My soul and my mind
My spirit renewed
Lord take my heart

In sweet surrender
I surrender all to You

I surrender
I surrender
Surrender all to You
Every part of me
Every part of me
Every part of me
