Remember Surrender

Remember surrender?
Remember the rest?
Remember the weight lifting off of your chest,
and realizing that it's not up to you and never was?

Remember surrender?
Remember relief?
Remember how tears rolled down both of your cheeks
as the warmth of a heavenly Father came closing in?
I want to do that again.
Why can't I live there and make my home
in sweet surrender?

I want to do so much more than remember.
Remember surrender?
Remember peace?
Remember how soundly you fell fast asleep?
In the face of your troubles your future
still shone like the morning sun.

Remember surrender?
Remember that sound
of all of those voices dying down?
But One who speaks clearly of helping
and healing you deep within.
I want to do that again.
Why can't I live there
and make my home
in sweet surrender?
I want to do so much more than remember.
Remember.
Oh, surrender.
