Some to Jesus I surrender
nigel from nccc sent me this via email:
Inspired by someone else suggestion have written a new hymn for us to sing (apologies to J van de Venter):
Some to Jesus I surrender,
some to him I freely give.
I will sometimes love and trust him,
in his presence sometimes live.
Some to Jesus I surrender
for-now at his feet I bow;
worldly pleasures still remembered
Jesus take some of me now.
Some to Jesus I surrender
make me, saviour, somewhat yours;
let me feel the Holy Spirit
except when the Spirit asks for more.
Some to Jesus I surrender
Lord, I keep the best for me
You can have your love and power,
just let your blessings rest on me.
Some to Jesus I surrender,
now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of false salvation
I say I love you, but nothing’s changed!
