I Surrender To You, My Lord A
roses soft, curvaceous petal. Delicate
violets on the ground settle.
Trees
sway in the gentle breeze- The
thermometer raises its degrees. Animals
trot from here to there “Tweet!
Tweet!” the birds declare. Everything
in life is passing me by I
don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Love
shouldn’t be the pinnacle in my life- I
shouldn’t want this badly to be a wife! I
shouldn’t feel that my life won’t be complete
Until my husband I one day meet. But
now I know what you want, my Lord! You
want me to surrender to Your sword. I
die to the image My
Lord, of marriage! I
surrender all my hopes and dreams. I
surrender my feelings, and my pleas. It
seems You want me completely broken before You. So
that is how I now offer myself and all I do! My
heart is bleeding Yet
Your words I’m heeding. There
are no tears left to cry, As
to my life Your word I apply. And
I do realize- That
no more can I idealize These
fancy thoughts of marriage and love I
must give them to my Father above. I
continue to broken be- As
at my masters feet I plea: “Fill
me with Your goodness, my master, my King.” “Shelter
me ‘neath Your covering wing.” “I’m
willing to serve You with my entire life.” “And that includes giving up this wanting to be a wife!”
