I Surrender All
William McDowell's rendition of 'I Surrender All,' featuring Pastor Jason Nelson, is a worship song centered on total surrender to God. The lyrics repeatedly declare giving everything to God, while the spoken interlude emphasizes presenting one's life completely and agreeing with God's will. The song invites listeners to respond with a heartfelt 'yes' to whatever God desires. It draws from the classic hymn theme of surrender, focusing on yielding control and trusting God's plan. The song is a prayerful declaration of submission and obedience.
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to You I give.
[6x]
[Spoken:]
Some of us are bowed down,
Some of us with our hands lifted;
We present ourselves to You
Our lives, completely and totally.
We surrender to You,
And our answer, the word of agreement
Between heaven and earth is "yes."
Whatever You want to do, Lord...
We say yes to You.
[Sung, worship leader ad lib; repeat each line as needed]
We say yes, we surrender
I say yes, I surrender
