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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
All to Jesus, I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
Refrain
All to Jesus, I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
Refrain
All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
Judson W Van DeVenter
1855-1939
Judson W. Van DeVenter attended Hillsdale College, then taught art in Sharon, Pennsylvania. After several years, though, he decided to switch to a career in evangelism, working with Wilbur Chapman and others in America and England. Toward the end of his life, he lived in St. Petersburg, Florida, then moved to Tampa, Florida, around 1923. He was professor of hymnology at the Florida Bible Institute (now Trinity Bible College) for four years.
Oh Lord, help me to surrender all to You. If there is anything that I have held back, please show me , so I can surrender it to You.

For Monday September 1,2008…………
I am late posting my daybook today, as I was spending some time wth my youngest daughter, Jennifer (Believing His Promises). She and husband Adrian, drove down (3 1/2 hours) to pick up a puppy that I had, and deliver it to a friend of theirs by where they live. This a picture of the puppy.
I was a little disappointed because I had taken some pictures with my camera phone of Jen and the puppy, but I could not download them. On with the daybook………..
Outside my window…..It is a very sunny warm, humid day. We had a very hard rainstorm last night, and the puddles are all over the parking lot.
I am thinking…..that i wish all my kids and grandkids lived close together…It would be easier to make a decision to move.
I am thankful for…..friends and family who care about me…..but especially for my Saviour who always takes care of me.
From the kitchen….let’s see…..oatmeal this morning, green chili stew and burrito for lunch, and leftover steak and cooked carrots for dinner. Thank you Luz for the green chili stew, it was delicious.
I am wearing…..A black t shirt and black below the knee knickers, black sandals, my purple cross necklace.
I am creating….still working on the chord chart, and I need to make some gift certificates.
I am going….nowhere tonight….yeah…I am going to run my usual Monday errands in the morning.
I am reading….I am particpating in Rachel’s Bible reading Challenge each day, but i need to post a little more……..
I am hoping….to be busy at the Beauty Shoppe this week….
I am hearing…..the hum of the air conditioner, and the news at 6, in the background…..
Around the house….Clean laundry all put away, Buster sleeping on his pillow, dishes all done, going to be a relaxing evening.
One of my favorite things….As my grandmother used to say ” A place for everything, and everything in it’s place”. It seems that I never quite get all the way there, but it makes me happy when I’m close.
A few plans for the rest of the week…..to talk with some friends that haven’t seen for a long time, to answer an email from a long lost friend, (about 10 years), paying bills, running errands, Church, Choir practice……
A picture thought I am sharing……

A few months ago there was a fire in the Organ Mountains.

When we All Get To Heaven
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions bright and blessèd
He’ll prepare for us a place.
Refrain
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when traveling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
Refrain
Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
Refrain
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.
Refrain

Born: June 28, 1851, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

After graduation from school, Eliza began teaching. However, her career was cut short by a serious spinal problem. She partially recovered, but was an invalid most of her life. She then turned to hymn writing, which ran in the family her cousin was hymnist Edgar Stites.
Eliza lived all her life in in Philadelphia, where she was Sunday School superintendent at the Northern Home for Friendless Children, and later at the Calvin Presbyterian Church.
I hope you have enjoyed my Saturday Psalm and Praise choice as much as I have.
Just thinking of that day makes me smile.

Just a short note to wish you a happy birthday, Jacque. I have read your daughters’ tributes and I am so proud of them and you. I remember when you were just a baby, you did everything early (from cutting teeth to walking). you walked at 8 months, and you haven’t slowed down since. I wish I had more pictures to post, but as you know, they are in storage. i did find this one though.
Remember going to George Wilson park? We did have fun there. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Blessings and Love,
Mom

For Sunday August 24.….
Proverbs21:30
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
Human plans, no matter how wise or well advised, cannot stand against the LORD. There can be no success against God, so one must never act against Him, against His commands, or in violation of His Word. Though one may think he has wisdom, and understanding, and counsel, the best politics and politicians, on his side, yet, if it be against the Lord, it cannot prosper long; it shall not last.
There can be no success without God, and therefore one must always depend on Him.
Lord, as this election year progresses, I pray that anyone who acts against you, against Your Will, or against Your Word, would not prosper or be successful, in Jesus Name.
Blessings,

Ps 38:12-15
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt
speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
This was a part of my Bible reading today. These verses tell me that though others may try to hurt me by things that they do (or don’t do) or things that they say, I must turn a deaf ear to them. When others behaviour is not God-like and unChristian toward me…I must depend on, trust in, and keep close to my God. When I allow the Lord to be my defender, He will silence my enemies and put them to shame.
Thank You, Lord……..
Blessings,

Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
[originally When my eye-strings break in death]
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
