About this Hymn

Evangelist Billy Graham was mentored in part by the lyricist of this hymn, Judson W. Van DeVenter. Several years later, in reflecting on this hymn, Graham wrote, "We should never fear to give God complete control over our lives. He loves us more than we love ourselves, and he will only plan what is best for us." The new verses by Matt Papa add depth to the original lyric—highlighting Christ's sacrifice, our response of worship, and the surrender of our very lives for his kingdom. This fresh expression invites worshipers to sing its timeless refrain with renewed vibrancy.

Lyrics

Verse 1
All to Jesus I surrender; all to him I freely give. I will ever love and trust him, in his presence daily live.

Verse 2
All to Jesus I surrender, to the One who died for me. How he gladly left his glory! Now I gladly call him King.

Chorus
I surrender all, I surrender all, all to thee, my blessed Savior; I surrender all.

Verse 3
All to Jesus I surrender, here my wealth, my gifts I bring; ev'ry grace poured down from heaven I return as praise, and sing:

Verse 4
All to Jesus I surrender: all my days, my dreams, my plans; give my life now for his kingdom; oh how worthy is the Lamb!
