Representative Text

1 Like a wand’ring sheep from the fold I stray’d,
From the Shepherd’s tender care;
But I heard his voice and I came by faith
To the blessed gate of pray’r.

Refrain:
I surrender all to Jesus,
And to him the glory be,
I surrender all to Jesus,
On the cross he died for me.

2 There was joy and peace in this heart of mine,
That the world can never give,
When I felt the touch of my Saviour’s hand,
And he whispered, look and live. [Refrain]

3 I will praise his name while he gives me breath,
For he’s cleansed and made me whole;
I will praise his name for redeeming grace,
And the love that fills my soul. [Refrain]
