Surrender- Even of Your Last

If surrender means; 

To give back over

Then to God I do

Over and over

In a war with myself-

The natural man,

Oft I refuse His help

Convinced that I can

Then, spent, I surrender

I see the fool I am

My humbled heart is made tender

And I am thankful, I can

Think of the widow's mite

Who gave up all she had

She surrendered in spite

Of her situation being bad

Even of your last

Offer to give it up

Blessed with trust and faith

The gift of love is enough

Picture the widow of  Zarephath

With a child, she gave up her last meal

All, because Elijah, the prophet asked

Think how that surrender would feel

All that we have and are

Comes from God above

We are meant to journey far

His plan is one of love

Even of your last

Offer to give it up

Blessed with trust and faith

The gift of love is enough

[Verse 1] If surrender means to give back over, Then to God I do, over and over. In a war with myself, the natural man, Oft I refuse His help, convinced that I can. [Pre-Chorus] Then spent, I surrender; I see the fool I am. My humbled heart is made tender, And thankful, here I stand. [Verse 2] Think of the widow's mite, Who gave up all she had. She surrendered in spite Of her situation being bad. [Chorus] Even of your last, Offer to give it up. Blessed with trust and faith, The gift of love is enough. [Verse 3] Picture the widow of Zarephath, With a child, she gave her last meal. All because Elijah, the prophet, asked— Think how that surrender would feel. [Bridge] All that we have and are Comes from God above. We are meant to journey far; His plan is one of love. [Chorus] Even of your last, Offer to give it up. Blessed with trust and faith, The gift of love is enough. [Outro] Over and over, I give it back; For love is enough, His love is enough.

Sister Kearon spoke in a devotional in the UK, Oct 2026. It was a tender moment for her. This building was the one she heard Elder Kearon speak at for the first time. She thought, "I have six months..." Weeks passed, she introduced herself and he invited her to his place for dinner- well a group, anyways. That was the start. Her lesson was based on hearing a song:  "I surrender".  Well, here is her song.  ☺
