Someone once said, “Only in the Christian life does surrender bring victory.”

Judson Wheeler Van De Venter learned that for himself.

Judson was heavily involved in his local Methodist Episcopal Church where he sang in the choir.

But he found himself especially fulfilled when participating in evangelistic rallies and revivals in which people received Christ as their personal Savior.

Friends encouraged him to resign from the school system to enter full-time music evangelism, but for five years he struggled with the decision.

Finally falling to his knees, he said, “Lord, if you want me to give my full time to Thy work, I’ll do it, I surrender all to Thee.”

While engaged in meetings in East Palestine, Ohio, it was there that he wrote hymn, “I Surrender All,” while recalling his own personal submitting to full-time ministry.  In the 1930s, a student at Florida Bible Institute sat wide-eyed, listening to Judson Van De Venter. That student, Billy Graham, later wrote: “One of the evangelists who influenced my early preaching was also a hymnist who wrote “I Surrender All,” the Rev. J.W. Van De Venter.
