Is Your All on the Altar
(Mississippi Mass)
Part 1
You have longed for sweet peace,
And for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed.
But you cannot have rest, or be perfectly blest,
Until all on the altar is laid.
Chorus
Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blest, and have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.
Would you walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
And have peace and contentment alway?
You must do His sweet will, to be free from all ill–
On the altar your all you must lay.
(Repeat Chorus)

Here I am Lord, I surrender
