“Says Christ, By renouncing your own self-sufficiency, giving up all things, however dear to you, you may buy the gold, the raiment, and the eyesalve that you may see. The Saviour comes with jewels of truth... to every door; He is knocking, presenting His priceless treasure, urging, ‘Buy of me.’" (Our High Calling, page 350)
SUMMARY
Jesus says, “Friend, Let’s make a deal.
Be honest with me about everything, for I care for you more than you can imagine ( 1 Pet 5:7 ).
Trust in Me with all your heart, rather than leaning on your own understanding ( Pr 3:5-6 ), for I will never leave you nor forsake you ( Heb 13:5 ). I will guide you with mine eye ( Ps 32:8 ) all the way to the end of the world ( Mt 28:20 ).
So Friend, open the door and give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways ( Prob 23:26 ). Renounce all your own self-sufficiency. Give it all up to buy from Me the gold, the raiment, and the eyesalve that you may see (OHC 350) all that I have in store for you.
Ya know, My thoughts and plans for you are amazing -- thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a bright future and a blessed hope. ( Jeremiah 29:11 )
So friend, I am knocking at your heart’s door right now, presenting My priceless treasure. I am urging you, (OHC 350) give Me all of you and I will give you all of Me, And that, my friend, is a for-ever deal!”
Give Them All to Jesus
VERSE 1
Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows
Are you tired of spinning round and round
Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life
At the feet of Jesus lay them down
CHORUS
Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams
Wounded hearts
Broken toys
Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
And he will turn your sorrow into joy
VERSE 2
He never said you’d only see sunshine
He never said there’d be no rain
He only promised a heart full of singing
About the very things that once caused pain
Desiring to live by every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah ( Deut8:3; Matt4:4 )
