This Sunday, New Years Day, the Lord laid it on my heart to share with you a topical message (my first topical message here at HBC) that I wrote many years ago as a youth pastor.  Even preached it in Ukraine through an interpreter in 2008.  The theme of the message is based on the text of an old song I remember hearing sung by Don Norman as he recorded it in 1976.  Here are the lyrics I found online:

Are you totally surrendered in the new year for whatever comes your way?  Will you surrender to your Almighty, Sovereign God who is in charge of it all anyway?

See you Sunday!

Jesus Be The Lord Of All

CHORUS
Jesus be the lord of all,
Jesus be the lord of all,
Jesus be the lord of all,
The kingdoms of my heart.

VERSE 1
In my heart are kingdoms,
Of a world that’s not my own.
Kingdoms that are only seen,
By myself and God alone.
In the past, when I, tried to rule my world
It just seemed to fall apart;
So please Jesus be the lord of all
The kingdoms of my heart.

VERSE 2
I guess, I only fool myself,
For I said I have yielded all.
But in a secret corner, of my heart
Was a kingdom that would not fall.
Well I surrender now, make my heart your throne,
Rule it’s kingdoms, great and small;
For if you’re not Lord of everything,
Then really you’re not Lord at all.

CHORUS
Jesus I, surrender all,
Jesus I, surrender all,
Jesus I, surrender all,
The kingdoms of my heart.

Jesus be the lord of all,
Jesus be the lord of all,
Jesus be the lord of all,
The kingdoms of my heart.
Jesus be the lord of all, lord of all.!
