Refrain: He is all in all to me, He is all in all to me; He saves me, he keeps me, and leads me day by day; He is all in all to me. 2 He broke the chain that bound my helpless soul, He made my wounded, broken spirit whole, And while he gives me breath his name I will extol; He is all in all to me. [Refrain] 3 He gave me peace and joy no tongue can tell, He deigns within my happy soul to dwell, And whatsoe’er he doeth I can say ‘tis well; He is all in all to me. [Refrain] 4 He give me vict’ry over every foe, He guides my footsteps everywhere I go. And he’ll forsake me never, this I surely know; He is all in all to me.

In 1889 he, answered a call to hold revival meetings in eastern Pennsylvania. Denominational leaders had received requests from congregations there, but had no one to send. Though Henry was only 22 years old, he proved a very effective organizer. He toured eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey for several months each year till 1895. He became a very active evangelist and song writer, holding meetings in every American state and in Britain. --www.hymntime.com/tch ================== The song, “I Cannot Be Idle,” was written by William J. Henry, in 1897. He got saved from his sins at the age of 20 (in 1882), and he wrote this song at the age of 35 years old. He got saved at an evangelistic meeting, took his stand with the church of God, and he was called to the ministry nine years later, in 1891. Two years later (at the age of 31 years old), he made his first trip to spread the gospel overseas. A small congregation in Liverpool, England, was started through his laboring. Henry could not be idle! Later, he started a congregation in Springfield, Missouri, where he pastored for 13 years. He wrote more than 300 songs. At the age of 73 years old, Henry and his wife wrote: “To God be all the glory! This has been the busiest and happiest time of our lives. We are both enjoying the best of health and are decided to do more for [God] in the future.” He died 20 years later. --www.churchofgodfca.com/
