The Meaning of Surrender
Surrender isn’t giving up,
It’s simply letting go;
And when you need to make that choice,
Your soul will let you know.
For when you’ve truly done your part,
And tried your very best;
It may be time to step aside,
And let God do the rest.
To try and force what’s meant to be,
Or hold on to control;
Will only cause impediments,
And suffocate your soul.
The caterpillar trusts God’s plan,
To help it reach the sky;
It doesn’t fret or try to force,
And soon it’s flying high.
A seed that’s buried under snow,
Knows spring won’t come too late;
It doesn’t check the calendar,
It trusts God knows the date.
Surrender to your highest good,
It’s there inside your heart;
Ignite the passion found within,
For that’s the place to start.
Surrendering relationships,
That cause you pain, my friend;
Can only lead to greater growth,
And freedom in the end.
Surrender what’s not serving you,
You know the truth inside;
And when you do, I promise you,
More doors will open wide.
