In life, we as people have so many things. If you were asked to give it all up, could you? Mathew 19: 16-22 talks about the rich young man that asked Jesus what good he must do to receive Eternal Life. Through the whole piece there is the idea of surrendering our ideas and following God’s plan. There is the theme of material things/possessions and another theme that asks “All the Jesus?” The music battles with the want of these possessions and the want to follow Christ. The question of “All the Jesus?” never really gets answered until a realization occurs of surrendering everything and being a witness for Christ through the gifts He has given us.

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

I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to thee, my blessed Saviour,
I surrender all.

I Surrender

Marcus Venables
