We Might As Well Sing Mother Goose Rhymes

by A. W. Tozer

"My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign."

We sing that—but we might as well sing Mother Goose rhymes, because we do not mean what we are singing!

If God Almighty compelled us to be entirely 100 percent honest, we simply could not sing the average hymn—because their words would not be true of us!

"All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

I surrender all,
I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all."
