What shall I give Thee, Master?
Thou who didst die for me.
Shall I give less of what I possess,
Or shall I give all to Thee?
Thou who didst die for me.
Shall I give less of what I possess,
Or shall I give all to Thee?
Jesus, my Lord and Savior;
Thou hast giv'n all for me;
Thou didst leave Thy home above
To die on Calvary.
What shall I give Thee, Master?
Thou hast giv'n all for me;
Not just a part or half of my heart,
I will give all to Thee.
Thou hast giv'n all for me;
Thou didst leave Thy home above
To die on Calvary.
What shall I give Thee, Master?
Thou hast giv'n all for me;
Not just a part or half of my heart,
I will give all to Thee.

What shall I give Thee, Master?
Thou hast redeemed my soul;
My gift is small but it is my all—
Surrendered to Thy control.

Giver of gifts divine!

For everything shall be Thine.

THE ALL-INCLUSIVE DEATH OF CHRIST
It is crucial that we see the all-inclusive death of Christ. In particular, we need to see Christ’s death as portrayed in the tabernacle. To repeat, the record of the tabernacle is presented not only according to doctrine, but also according to spiritual experience. Christ’s unique death, as indicated by the two curtains, has two aspects: the objective aspect related to our sins and the subjective aspect related to our flesh. Writers such as Mrs. Jesse Penn-Lewis speak of the subjective death of Christ; that is, the death of Christ for us. In the book entitled Gospel Dialogue (p. 90), Brother Nee answers a question concerning the difference between Christ dying for us and Christ dying for our sins. The following is his answer:
“Christ died for us” means that Christ died for us sinners. The purpose of His death is to save us sinners. What He has accomplished is for us; that is, to gain us, and to deliver us from ourselves.
“Christ died for our sins” signifies that He died for the sins committed by us sinners. The purpose is to take away our sins so that they may be forgiven, and to save us from the penalty and the power of sin so that we are no longer under its dominion.

Message 102 (LSM)
THE BLINDNESS OF THE LORD’S DISCIPLES
In the Gospel of Mark the Lord’s disciples were blind and did not understand. In 8:31 He taught them clearly concerning His death and resurrection: “And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise. ” Although He spoke such a clear word, the disciples did not understand Him.
Because the Lord’s disciples did not receive the unveiling of His death and resurrection the first time, He spoke to them about it again in 9:31 : “For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He is killed, after three days, He will rise. ” Verse 32 says that “they did not understand what He was saying, and they were afraid to question Him. ”
In 9:33 and 34 we have a further indication of how blind the disciples were and how unable they were to understand His word concerning His death and resurrection. After the Lord and the disciples came into Capernaum, He questioned them, “What were you reasoning about on the road? ” (v. 33). They were silent, “for they had argued with one another on the road who was greater. ” How blind they were! The Lord had told them definitely that He was to be killed and then would rise after three days, but they did not understand a word. In fact, immediately after He unveiled His death and resurrection to them the second time, they argued with one another regarding who was greater.
In 10:32 the Lord Jesus went up to Jerusalem with His disciples. In 10:33 and 34 we have the third unveiling of the Lord’s death and resurrection: “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles; and they shall mock Him and spit at Him, and shall scourge Him, and kill Him; and after three days He will rise. ” Immediately after He spoke this clear word, James and John said to Him, “Teacher, we desire that whatever we ask You, You will do for us” (10:35). When He asked them what they wanted Him to do for them, they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one on Your right, and one on Your left, in Your glory” (vv. 36-37). When the others heard this, “they began to be indignant about James and John” (v. 41). This indicates that the disciples were not able to understand the Lord’s unveiling of His death and resurrection.

Nothing can compare with what the Lord gave, even our all is incomparable.
'Not just a part or half of my heart, I will give all to Thee'
May we surrender our all for Your control.

"What shall I give Thee Master, Thou hast given all for me."
I'm thinking of Mary who broke an alabaster box for the Lord. To break our alabaster box is to lay aside ourselves, our self interest and pour it to our beloved Lord Jesus. Spending time with Him is one way to break our alabaster box. Let us all be encouraged to have a personal, affectionate,
private and spiritual time with the Lord. Amen. Lord Jesus I love You.

I just listened to a Bible commentary on 1st Samuel Chapter 2 where Hannah gave her only son Samuel to the Lord.. That left me with a question, what shall I give to the Lord?
My mind raced back to this beautiful song which I sang with tears in my eyes. Thank you God for This song.

Hadn't thought of the words of this song for years but the Lord brought it to my mind during quiet time today. So glad God used Google to acquaint me with this site. I know I will be referring to it often. Thank you! I appreciate your comment Shari.

During my quiet time today I sang the songs from the One Year Hymn book for Jan 6 and 7: We Three Kings and As With Gladness Men of Old. Afterwards, I was pondering: How did the magi know what to bring to the King of the Jews? The Holy Spirit must have led them to the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh!! Then the song from my youth came into my head..."what shall I give Thee, Master??? Thou hast given all for me?" I couldn't find it in any of my hymnbooks... so I came to the computer and hymnal.net. Thank you so very much.
