25 Songs of Christmas a Musical Celebration of the SeasonPrøve

[IMAGE CONTENT] # Day 7 — I Surrender All Though not traditionally considered a Christmas song, “I Surrender All” is an important reminder of why we celebrate this time of year. After all, Jesus came and delivered us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13), so we could surrender all to Him and be free! That is what the Reverend J.W. Van de Venter was thinking about when he wrote this classic hymn in 1896. Van de Venter, who had a big influence on the early preaching of Billy Graham, had this to say about the day he wrote the song: “For some time, I had struggled between developing my talents in the field of art and going into full-time evangelistic work. At last, the pivotal hour of my life came, and I surrendered all. A new day was ushered into my life. I became an evangelist and discovered down deep in my soul a talent hitherto unknown to me. God had hidden a song in my heart, and touching a tender chord, he caused me to sing.” What do you need to surrender this Christmas? Whatever it is, Jesus is waiting with open arms to take the burden from you and cause you to live each day in peace and joy, free from every care, worry and anxiety. No matter what you’ve been told, worrying is not the responsible thing to do. In fact, it is the most damaging (Psalm 37:8). It’s time to surrender all to Jesus. He will take impossible situations and turn them into beautiful miracles. Press play above and hear Kenneth Copeland sing this beloved hymn, and make the decision to surrender it all. Sing along with the lyrics of this beautiful song: > 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 Savior, > I surrender all. Surrender all and be filled with hope, love, peace and joy this Christmas!
