Wings of His Love

Surrender

BY RUSANNE CAROLE

Surrender it all Surrender it all

I am here with you every step of the way

I have been with you before you took your first breath and opened your mouth to cry out!

You can cry out, my child

I hear you even when you don’t say a word, whether the tears flow or not

I can hear your heart

I know your hurts I know your disappointments

I know your thoughts, your dreams, your desires

I put my desires in your heart Like a mother places a baby down to sleep Or a woman prepares a meal for her family Or a gardener plows the soil and places a seed to be watered and nurtured!

I place them there, my love, to be fulfilled

I receive pleasure when I see them take root and flourish in your life

Look to me Be still Be quiet

Hear my voice I speak to you all the time

Turn everything off Come to me and with me Take my hand

I have so much to say So much for you All you must do is believe!

Trust me, and if you fall, I will be there to pick you up Trust me in it all I have you in my capable, strong, and sovereign hands

Keep your eyes on me I will lead you in this dance of life

When you’re tempted to run ahead Stop and look back!

I am always there, always there!

Watching over you Never too far

We take this ride together, my treasure I am always with you I love you
