Festival Arrangement
All to God
arr. Jeremy Avery
PROGRAM NOTE
Originally written for the youth band at Meadowlands Corps, All to God features the song Lord, I Make a Full Surrender (S.A.S.B. 602) alongside the more contemporary song I Surrender by Phil Laeger (Hallelujah Choruses 160). The lyrics of both songs express the desire to fully surrender our lives to God and claim salvation through Him.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
I have given my all to God;
And I now have full salvation
Through the precious blood.
