Lyrics
Lord I surrender my life to thee
And no one else but thee Jesus
You can take my life
Take my hands, my feet
My whole life too
All to Jesus
I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence dearly live
Chorus
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Saviour
I surrender all
All to Jesus
I surrender
Lord I give myself to Thee
Fill me with thy love and power
Let thy blessings fall on me
Chorus
(Repeat many times as needed)

Meaning & Inspiration
I Surrender All is a hymn of complete devotion to Jesus. The opening expands the familiar refrain into a personal offering of life, hands, and feet, making surrender concrete rather than abstract. Subsequent lines give love, trust, and the whole self to Christ, while asking to be filled with divine love and power. Repetition of the chorus reinforces the songs central confession: nothing is withheld from the Saviour.
The theme aligns closely with biblical calls to offer the whole life to God. Romans 12 describes the body presented as a living sacrifice, and Luke records Jesus calling disciples to deny themselves and follow him. The lyric also connects surrender with continued trust and life in Gods presence. Its prayer is therefore both decisive and ongoing, combining a single declaration with a pattern of faithful dependence. The emphasis remains on willing devotion, asking Christ to receive every part of life and shape it through love, power, and blessing.
