Surrender

Is the key to my happiness giving up on all of my dreams, hopes, and plans?
What's the secret to aligning my will to the Lord's? I'm sure once I surrender my all peace will finally come to me. These lyrics really touch me right now. It's a song by Barlow Girl and it really tells what is at the heart of me right now. Clutching tightly everything I believe is mine, yet in reality it all belongs to God already. When will I give up my human ways and let Him lead me?

"Surrender"

My hands hold safely to my dreams
Clutching tightly not one has fallen
So many years I've shaped each one
Reflecting my heart showing who I am
Now You're asking me to show
What I'm holding oh so tightly
Can't open my hands can't let go
Does it matter?
Should I show You?
Can't You let me go?

Surrender, surrender You whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me. My dreams are me

You say You have a plan for me
And that You want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What You can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to You
Will You take them away forever?
Or can I dream again?

Surrender, surrender You whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me. My dreams are me


I can't let my dreams, or the lack there of, define who I am. Once I give myself completely to God, maybe then peace will be mine once again. This is my hope, this is my prayer.
