I Surrender All
by Barbara Philbrook

I surrender my all to You,
everything I am and all I'll ever do.

I surrender my mind my heart and soul,
Lord I need You to make me whole.

I surrender my thoughts my words my deeds,
Lord may I fill somebody's need.

I surrender my aches pains and fears,
I give You my shed and unshed tears.

Here's my anger self righteousness and greed,
I pray You'll banish each of these.

Take all of my malice selfishness and inner pride,
sweep them away leaving none inside.

Help me to see I am nothing without You,
and that You are responsible for any good I do.

May I always be aware that I am Blessed,
and that it is You that provides my Happiness.

I surrender my all my Lord to Thee,
and I pray that is how it will always be.
