I Left It All with Jesus by James McGranahan — Lyrics
1 I left it all with Jesus long ago,
All my sins I brought him and my woe.
When by faith I saw him on the tree,
Heard his loving whisper: ‘Tis for thee;
From my heart the burden rolled away,
Happy day!
2 I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows
How to steal the bitter from life’s woes,
How to gild the teardrop with his smile,
Make the desert garden bloom awhile;
When my weakness leaneth on his might
All is light!

The rich harmonies and straightforward melodic lines convey the assurance and peace found in faith. The arrangement moves through verses that speak of past surrender, present reliance, and future hope, culminating in an invitation for the listener to also leave their burdens with Jesus. The composer James McGranahan has crafted a deeply devotional anthem that has become a staple within the sacred music repertoire, offering comfort and spiritual strength through its earnest message and accessible musical setting.
