I Have Given My Cares To Jesus – Hymn Lyric
I have given my cares to Jesus,
And He took them from my hand;
On the altar of surrender-
There I left them, where He stands.
Refrain:
What assurance! what a priv’lege!
What salvation, full and grand!
He has lifted ev’ry burden,
Soothed and helped me with His hand.
I have given my cares to Jesus;
Greatest joy and peace is mine;
Now I know the blessed promise,
Of His saving grace divine. [Refrain]
I have given my cares to Jesus,
When the storms upon me pressed,
And He gave me His salvation,
Steadfast refuge, perfect rest. [Refrain]
I have given my cares to Jesus;
Childlike trust He did impart;
Never did a song so joyful
Ring as now within my heart. [Refrain]
I have given my cares to Jesus;
Now I know that all is well;
On I go to be His witness,
Of His love to ever tell. [Refrain]

Journey to the Altar of Surrender: Embracing Our True Selves
Today, I invite you to embark on a deeply personal and profoundly spiritual journey. A journey that traverses the subtle landscapes of our hearts, touches the core of our vulnerabilities, and leads us to the altar of surrender. This journey is about finding solace in letting go, about discovering strength in the arms of faith, and about the liberation that comes from relaying our burdens, not just to a higher power, but to the love that is perpetually waiting within us.
The verses we reflect on today speak of a peace that is divine, a joy that is unshakeable, and a refuge that is eternal. “I have given my cares to Jesus,” the lyrics begin. These words are not merely a declaration; they are an invitation to a dialogue with our innermost selves. To give our cares to Jesus, or to any focal point of faith, asks us to confront and accept parts of ourselves we may have long ignored.
We live in a world that often demands perfection, where vulnerability is seen as a weakness, and to admit that we need help can be daunting. Yet, the act of surrender, of placing our cares on the altar, is not a sign of defeat but of profound courage. It is recognizing that we are human, and in our humanity, we are bound to face storms that we cannot calm on our own.
When we lay our troubles before Jesus, or when we allow ourselves to trust in something greater than our individual strength, we are not merely seeking an escape. We are seeking a transformation. The refrain echoes gently in our hearts: “He has lifted every burden, soothed and helped me with His hand.” This lifting of burdens is a shared experience of humanity – it is an acknowledgment that we are not alone in our struggles.
Our journey together also asks us to embrace an unwavering truth: that in our deepest despair, we are met with steadfast refuge and perfect rest. This refuge is not found in the absence of life’s storms but in the calm that resides within us amidst the tempest. The peace that is described as “full and grand” is a state of being that transcends circumstance. It is that blessed promise of divine grace that each of us can tap into, regardless of where we are on our spiritual path.
As we immerse ourselves in the simplicity of childlike trust, we learn that the joy within our hearts can be as profound as the most joyous song. This trust is an invitation to rediscover our inherent innocence, our inherent goodness. It allows us to see the world with fresh eyes and an open heart, to witness the small miracles that surround us every day.
Finally, as we give our cares to Jesus, we embrace our role as witnesses of love. To witness His love, or the pure unconditional love that pervades our existence, is to speak and act from a place of compassion and empathy. It is to understand that our stories, our journeys, and our vulnerabilities can inspire and heal others.
So, dear friends, let’s take a moment to sit with our thoughts, our doubts, our fears, and lay them gently on the altar of surrender. Let’s accept that it is okay to be vulnerable, to seek help, and to trust in a power greater than ourselves. In doing so, we do not lose our strength – we discover an even greater one. A strength born of love, peace, and an unshakeable joy.
May you find solace in this surrender, and may it lead you to the deepest parts of your true self, where you are embraced entirely for both your humanity and your divinity.
