I Surrender All

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.

All to Jesus I surrender,

Humbly at His feet I bow;

Worldly pleasures all forsaken,

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

I surrender all,

I surrender all,

All to Thee, my blessed Savior,

I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender,

Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;

Let me feel the Holy Spirit--

Truly know that Thou are mine.

I surrender all,

I surrender all,

All to Thee, my blessed Savior,

I surrender all.

Softly and Tenderly

“Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,

Calling for you and for me;

See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching,

Watching for you and for me.

Come home,

Come home,

Ye who are weary, come home.

Earnestly, tenderly,

Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

O for the wonderful love He has promised,

Promised for you and for me!

Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon,

Pardon for you and for me.

Come home,

Come home,

Ye who are weary, come home.

Earnestly, tenderly,

Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

 It's the first day of Lent. A celebration of the time Jesus fasted for 40 days. It's a time of watching and praying, a time to examine our consciences. It's a time of reconciliation with Him. It's a time for the prodigals to come back to Him. God is waiting to run to meet you with open arms, put a ring on your finger, a robe on your back, kill the fatted calf and have a feast to rejoice at your returning. He's wishing you would return.
