Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "I Surrender All" by Michael W. Smith expresses a complete submission of oneself to Jesus. The lyrics ask Jesus to take everything that we have and guide us to lead a life that is righteous in His eyes. The act of surrendering everything to Jesus indicates that one is ready to let go of their own desires, plans, and thoughts in order to follow His will. The final line of the verse emphasizes that it is only in the presence of Jesus that one can truly live.


The chorus of the song reinforces the theme of surrendering all to Jesus, with a repeated statement of the phrase "I surrender all" followed by an acknowledgement that the Savior is the recipient of this surrender. The words "my blessed Savior" are used to describe Jesus, indicating a deep sense of gratitude for His actions and presence. These words also suggest that surrendering to Jesus is an act of blessing that brings about a sense of euphoria.


The Spanish verse of the song echoes the English lyrics closely, with the same message of devotion and submission to Jesus Christ. The phrase "Todo a Cristo yo me rindo" replaces the English lyrics of "All to Jesus I surrender". The Spanish lyrics refer to Jesus as "El" which is the Spanish word for "Him". The use of Spanish in the song may serve to widen the audience of the song to Spanish-speaking regions of the world.

I was so blessed to be at this concert! Today I repented of my sins and rededicated myself to JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD and SAVIOR . I was rebaptized and born again today! Thank you JESUS for calling my heart back to you and forgiving me of my sins! HALLELUJAH! HE can do the same for you all you have to do is ask him to come into your heart, confess your sins to HIM, believe that HE was crucified for our sins, then rose from the grave and lives and reigns forever! HE gives us eternal life! Thank you JESUS!

Im south african and only know how to say hello in spanish (which everybody knows actually) but the spanish part of this song, takes me breath away. First time I heard it I almost cried. It always revives me in an unbelievable way.

@jacobvillar1503

@dorseyan12345

@esthergeorge4251

Mokgadi Monyepao you took the words out of my mouth concerning the Spanish part

@Drummerboy-se8sl

Coalo zamorano rendition blew me away πŸ‘πŸΌ

@donaldcowles6456

Sometimes, It helps not to just listen to the sound of a song, but to think about the words and what is the message of the song. I surrender all to Jesus is a weighty oath, and living in his presence daily, giving freely forever, isn't to be taken lightly. This song is very touching, but it isn't just that. It's a calling for you to step up, and give it your all that you promised. I know that everybody knows that they must give it their all, but I'll leave with this question. Have you given all?

@doodlbebud

This version is so beautiful. I get goosebumps toward the end. Great job Michael & Coalo. To God be the Glory!
