I heard Your voice
when my world
caved in around me
When darkness tried
to steal my future
When I was at my lowest
I heard You say “Surrender”
Trying to put my broken heart at ease
Trying to put my bruised ego to rest
I didn’t want to listen
because how could I surrender?
When all I had, I lost
Nothing to hold on to
Still I couldn’t bring myself
to give You, what was of no
value in my hands
Years came and they went
Yet I couldn’t let go
I sunk deeper into despair
Pain part of my every move
Written all over my face
Flowing from my mouth
Would I ever taste freedom?
Would I ever know love?
Would I ever be free
from these demons haunting me?
You followed me through
my darkest nights
You pursued me
when I begged
You to give up
You had hope, when I did not
You had faith, when I gave up
You saw my future
When I clung to my past
I never knew that Your love
had the ability to break down my barriers
All my life I had been searching
for something or someone to fill
this void within
Had unrealistic expectations
of people who were also in search
To be known
To be loved
Craving for something
to calm the storms within
In a distance, I could hear You
Though I didn’t want to believe
That You saw me
That You heard me
That You knew me
I could feel the enemy drawing me in
The atmosphere was loaded
Heaven and hell in a battle,
but don’t You always win?
“Surrender”
I’ll be ready when you fall
Into My arms of love
I have paid the price
You don’t have to walk alone
Empty handed, it is ok
Surrender and give it all away
Don’t cling to your past
There is hope in surrender
There is faith in surrender
There is victory in surrender
Surrender, is for the brave ones
You will find everything you need
when you come to the end of yourself
Supernaturally I will invade
all the broken places in your life
and make you whole
It’s time my child
Don’t limit the extent
of My love at work in your life
You will find that when
you are weak
I am strong
When you let go
I will take control
There is beauty in surrender
