Paradoxes of Surrender

The paradoxes of surrendering to God.

This long journey I take, lead me to pain and darkness

So I will appreciate more, your light and warm embrace

Let me feel pain make me as hard as the stone

I fear the darkness no more for I know I’m not alone

 

Deny me of my wants, the things this world would crave

Teach me to be content, for you are all I need

Take away the luxuries, for I know what true joy is

I never fear indigence, after this life awaits better place

 

As vague as a child take away all my potency

So I could know that without you, I exist in inutility

Impair me now oh God, for I know you use the weak

Deny me of power, oh Lord make me great

 

Make me a fool my teacher, a dunce as seen by men

So I cannot do away, from the perfect plan of heaven

True wisdom comes from you alone, everything else is folly

It would be of big honor to be labeled a dolt for thee

 

Give me defeat oh King, make me lie there helplessly

So I will learn the ways of meekness and humility

True victory is at your hands, it starts from surrender

A great triumph it will be, when I become a loser

 

Indeed oh God, my Lord your wisdom is supreme

Ironic in ways, farther than of what I can imagine

Your omniscient wisdom oh Master it started everything

When I see things the way you do, even in trials I sing

 

Triumph over me my God, destroy my own will

I lay it over all to you, my sore heart you heal

Like a ship on the ocean, Captain, hold the oar

With the joy I have in you like an eagle I will soar.
