Surrender

For months and months I’ve kept God at bay

Lived life to my liking

of course it’s bound to be full of pain

Last night I surrendered

To the weight of it all

I laid them down at His feet

I realized how many burdens I’ve carried

I could only pour so many tears

When I looked at how I really am face to face

Lord, remind this fragile soul

How empty a life without You at the center is

Remind this broken heart

that what it is now is the result

of letting the world shape it to its liking

And so You whispered

that Your grace is greater

than all the mistakes I’ve made

than darkness that seemed to reign

and I am covered

and I just have to surrender to Your love
