The deeply personal hymn, “I Need Thee Every Hour” was written out of the daily experiences of a busy housewife and mother, Annie Hawks, in the year 1872. “Suddenly, I became filled with the sense of nearness to the Master, and I began to wonder how anyone could ever live without Him, either in joy or pain. Then, the words were ushered into my mind and these thoughts took full possession of me – ‘I need Thee every hour’.”

“I Surrender All”, written by Judson Van de Venter (whose ministry impacted the preaching of Dr. Billy Graham) is our hymn for the month for August. Van de Venter penned the lyrics about a pivotal moment in his life and in his account of the writing of the hymn text, said this: “God had hidden a song in my heart, and touching a tender chord, He caused me to sing.”
