Surrender

I feel you speaking here

In the longings of my heart

As I pray for trust to come

And for grace to play its part

I touch you in the silence

As you trace my every curve

Embracing me in promise

Though your love, I least deserve

But still, you rain upon me

As droplets in a storm

Covering my shape

As I yield to lover's form

I'm here, you whisper to me

I have never left your side

Though you thought that I had gone

I have always been your guide

Trust me, you sing sweetly

I will lead you home

For my loving has no limit

No matter where you roam

Yes, I feel you stirring in me

As faith pervades my pores

Leading me to resting

Upon your gentle shores

So I pray and wait for grace

To trust your perfect love

Surrendering myself

As hand to winter's glove

For I know you blanket me

With love's divine embrace

And you live within my heart

'Til I gaze upon your face

I feel you dwelling here

In my spirit of desire

As trust has laid its seed

For grace to now transpire
