Lyrics
Verse 1
Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows?
Are you tired of spinning round and round?
Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life
and at the feet of Jesus lay them down
Chorus
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, broken toys,
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
And He will turn your sorrow into joy
Verse 2
He never said you'd only see sunshine
He never said there'd be no rain
He only promised a heart full of singing
about the very thing that once brought pain
(Repeat Chorus)

Meaning & Inspiration
Give Them All To Jesus is an invitation to hand over disappointment and pain. The verse asks whether the listener is tired of chasing rainbows and spinning around, and advises laying shattered dreams at the feet of Jesus. The chorus repeats "give them all" for shattered dreams, wounded hearts and broken toys, and promises that He will turn sorrow into joy.
The second verse adds realism: He never promised sunshine without rain, only a heart full of singing about the very thing that once caused pain. The theme matches 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 11:28 and Psalm 30:11, which describe casting cares on God, resting in Christ and sorrow turned to dancing. Short phrases and a chorus built on repetition make the song easy to take in, and its pastoral, gentle voice speaks directly to anyone carrying a burden.
