True Freedom From Surrender

~ I wrote this poem after going through a difficult situation. It helped me redirect my thoughts to the Lord.


Oh to submit with wild abandon, to Gods direction and purpose

To place my life within his tender and merciful hands

To ever more be mindful of his hand in my life

What joy that would be and what raptures would flood the soul

Submit unto him all the aspects of your life

Bring under his control the words of your mouth

Bring under his control the desires of your heart

Make every thought captive and make every move in him

Putting yourself under his control is not constricting

Putting yourself under God’s commands is the ultimate freedom.

Freedom so refreshing a thousand streams could not compare

Blessings too deep for me to count and beauty more striking than flowers perfection

Contentment, Meekness, a humble and sweet spirit all too much to name.

I keep just hearing this refrain

Surrender to our Lord, surrender to our Lord, surrender to our Lord
