I Surrender All

Welcome to Mom Unplugged. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When all else fails in life, I know that I must surrender all. Sometimes it may seem hard and like we can’t handle it, and you know what we can’t. There is no New Age philosophy, no “secret” way to fix it, no “new earth” until Jesus comes back, that will make our issues better. Only total surrender to Christ.

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.

 

 

Scripture To Ponder: Matthew 11:28-30

 

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] 29Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. 30For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good–not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

Sunday Testimony: I Remember

I love this song because I am forever reminded that God is the one who can turn it all around.

The Potter’s House (Tremaine Hawkins)

Verse 1:
In case you have fallen by the wayside of life;
dreams and visions shattered, You’re all broken inside.
You don’t have to stay in the shape that you’re in;
the potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again.

Verse 2:
In case your situation has turned upside down,
and all that you’ve accomplished, is now on the ground.
You don’t have to stay in the shape that you’re in;
the potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again.

Chorus:
You who are broken, stop by the potter’s house.
You who need mending, stop by the potter’s house;
give Him the fragments of your broken life,
my friend, the potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

Vamp:
Joy in the potter’s house.

Peace in the potter’s house.

Love in the potter’s house.

There is salvation in the potter’s house.

There is healing in the potter’s house.

There is deliverance in the potter’s house.

You’ll find everything you need in the potter’s house.

Ending:
The potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

Sunday Testimony

Well I think this song by Mary J. Blige says it all. So here is this Sunday’s Testimony

Just Fine (Mary J. Blige)

You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But it?s something about this joint right here
This joint right here
Its makes me wanna?..Woooh

 

Let it go??
Can?t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, go do what you want to do
Can?t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, cause I?m winning
It?s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right

 

So I like what I see when I?m looking at me
When I?m walking past the mirror
Don’t stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain?t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my vibe right
I aint gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn?t change my life, my life?s just?..

 

Fine (6x) ooooh
Fine(6x) ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn?t change my life, my life?s just fine

 

Feels so good, when you?re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me
Having a really good time, I?m not complaining
And I?m a still wear a smile if it’s raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I?m so glad that it’s fine

 

So I like what I see when I?m looking at me
When I?m walking past the mirror
Aint worried about you and what you gonna do
I?m a lady so I must stay classy
Got to keep it hot, keep it together
If I want to get better
See I wouldn?t change my life, my life?s just?..

 

Fine(6x) ooooh
Fine(6x) ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
See I won?t change my life, my life?s just fine

 

I ain’t gon? let nothing get in my way
(I ain’t gone let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way)
I ain?t gon? let nothing get in my way
No matter what nobody has to say

 

Feels so good, when you?re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
It?s a really good thing to say
That I won?t change my life, my life?s just fine

 

Fine(6x) ooooh
Fine (6x) ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
See I won?t change my life, my life?s just fine

 

So I like what I see when I?m looking at me
When I?m walking past the mirror
Don’t stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain?t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my vibe right
I ain?t gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn?t change my life, my life?s just?..

 

Fine(6x) ooooh
Fine(6x) ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn?t change my life, my life?s just fine

I always choose a Mary song for my yearly anthem. This one is for 2008. I wouldn’t change my life because God has made it just fine.
