Surrender

"Surrender" He said....

I replied, "NO!"

I have control of my life

and don't need to be told

what to do

what to say

what to listen to

when I pray.

"Just be there for me

in case I stumble."

"That won't do,

you need to be humble."

So I fail and I fall.

I can't do it all.

I cry and I plea...

"Oh God, help me!"

So in His grace

and in His glory

I am here to tell my story.

I couldn't do it after all.

Thank God I can walk

after I've crawled.

Submission

Submission....a word that strikes fear in my heart.

It means to me I'm not doing my part.

It implies that I'm less than I'm able to be.

To give up control...to someone else heed.

I feel it is weakness, but God knows it's power.

To give Him control in our darkest hour.

But we also should give it on brightest of days.

Raise our hands in surrender; lift our faces in praise.

He will bless us beyond all of our wildest dreams,

Take us far past all of our hopes and our schemes.

Our cups will flow over, our lives be fulfilled.

If only...if only...we surrender our will.
