This song holds a dear place in my heart. I grew up the son of Salvation Army officer parents (My mother and father were ordained pastors in The Salvation Army) and this song is one of The Salvation Army's finest. The verses were written by Hebert Booth, the third son of William and Catherine Booth, the founders of The Salvation Army. This song captures the theme of the beauty of weakness as we recognize that in our weakness, he is strong - in our inadequacy, he is our sufficiency...our all.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
I bring to Thee my heart to fill;
I feel how weak I am, but still
To Thee for help, I call.
In joy or grief, to live or die,
For earth or Heaven, this is my cry,
Be Thou my all in all.

CHORUS:
Christ is all, yes, all in all. My Christ is all in all.
Christ is all, yes, all in all. My Christ is all in all.

VERSE 2:
I've little strength to call my own,
And what I've done, before Thy throne
I here confess, is small;
But on Thy strength. O God, I lean,
And through the blood that makes me clean,
Thou art my all in all.
