The Beautiful Surrender

Song I wrote.


I'm so tired of fighting,
I have no fight left,
So tired of running,
And so out of breath,

Been holding my ground,
And forgetting to breathe,
Just to act like I'm fine,
So that nobody sees,

I wrestle with You,
And You wrestle with me,
I'm beginning to think,
That You let me believe,
I stood even a chance,
Against You and Your hand,
Your thumb touches my hip,
And I can't even stand,

So I fall to my knees,
I surrender I surrender,
I give up all my power,
If I had any at all,
I crumble at Your feet,
This is total abandon,
I will trust I'll believe,
I give up all control,
And I lay in a heap,
Slowly catching my breath,
I give up this fight,
All You ask, I accept,
I surrender I surrender,
I give up,

I spent so many years,
Fighting for my own way,
With nothing to show,
But a trail of dismay,

Been striving and fighting,
I'm beginning to see,
I'm not made of titanium,
My muscles grow weak,

I wrestle with You,
And You wrestle with me,
I'm beginning to think,
That You let me believe,
I stood even a chance,
Against You and Your hand,
Your thumb touches my hip,
And I can't even stand,

So I fall to my knees,
I surrender I surrender,
I give up all my power,
If I had any at all,
I crumble at Your feet,
This is total abandon,
I will trust I'll believe,
I give up all control,
And I lay in a heap,
Slowly catching my breath,
I give up this fight,
All You ask, I accept,
I surrender I surrender,

But You gather me near,
Wipe my frustrated tears,
And show me love which I have never known,
I don't know why I'd ever try,
To fight this fight,
On my own,
And You ask me,
"Isn't it hard kicking,
Against the goad,"

So I fall to my knees,
This is beautiful surrender,
I give up all my power,
If I had any at all,
I crumble at Your feet,
This is total abandon,
I will trust I'll believe,
I give up all control,
And I lay in a heap,
Slowly catching my breath,
I give up this fight,
All You ask, I accept,
For You gave me Your life,
As a sacrifice,
For all of the wrong,
I have done with my life,
And I let go of everything,
I thought I knew,
To surrender my everything,
To You,
I surrender,
I surrender,
