My spirit, soul, and body

I love this song so much. Lord I surrender my all to You, Amen.

I'm struggling with chronic pain all over my body and depression. I'm unable to concentrate because of the many medications that I take.

I'm a Christian, but sometimes I feel alone and far from God. This morning I woke up and prayed then turned to my Redemption Hymnal, going thru the pages I came upon this song, googled it and got the tune and just fell in love with it. I will always turn to this song and use it as my prayer when I can't pray.

Thanks for this opportunity I will be always searching for more songs and the tune to them. I feel so much better now. Plz pray for me and my family. God bless you.

My all is on the altar;
Lord, I am all Thine own;
Oh, may my faith ne’er falter!
Lord, keep me Thine alone...

My first time of encountering this hymn and it just supplied the words I wished in my heart to address to my Master Jesus. Indeed it is my earnest cry that each day my spirit, my soul and body will be a living sacrifice to Him and Him alone who gave His life for me. I love You Lord Jesus. Thanks for making this hymn available on the web.
