Surrender
my hands hold safely to my dreams
clutching tightly, not one has fallen
so many years have shaped each one
reflecting my heart, showing who i am
now you're asking me to show
what i'm holding oh so tightly
can't open my hands, can't let go
does it matter?
should i show you?
can't you let me go?
surrender, surrender
you whisper gently
you say i will be free
i know, but can't you see?
my dreams are me
my dreams are me
you say you have a plan for me
and that you want the best for my life
told me the world has yet to see
what you can do with one that's committed to your call
i know of course what i should do
that i can't hold these dreams forever
if i give them now to you
will you take them away forever?
or can i dream again?
surrender, surrender
you whisper gently
you say i will be free
i know, but can't you see?
my dreams are me
my dreams are me
surrender.

What a beautiful song. I am not sure exactly what it was speaking to you . . .
. . . But it reminded me of a poster my dad gave me one time. It was a picture of a mother horse (I had posters of horses all over my room growing up) standing with her foal and it said "Love is caring enough not to hold on tightly." I remember it well because I pondered the meaning of it for years and years and could never figure it out. Now that I am older, I think it was a parent thing -- my dad was trying to tell me something from his heart. BUT it came back to me when I read this song. In a different sense, our willingness to let go of our agendas is a way we show our love to God. Anyway, that's what I got from it and appreciate the post as it spoke to where I am right now.
i like this song. a lot.
hope your week is full of blessings!!
