Learning To Submit

Rating: 5.0


Father, give me the love I once had,
the unselfish, freely given not sad.
For that love finds no pain, not hurts
Because it comes from You who asserts
The most powerful, seeking, and real
kind of love not given in any deal.

When my way gets rough, I turn to You.
Now I will go Your way and do
all that Your power will lead for me.
Should I make the mistakes You’d see,
Please teach me to know what You say
In Your Word that isn’t read much today.

I don’t cast my fate to the wind now,
Like I did in the past, now I will bow
To my master’s feet and all that He is.
Too many men do what they consider biz.
This world could blow up and they’ll die.
What does it take to show the world’s a lie.

Help me Father even when I feel strong.
For I know that is what You really long.
I know I’ve loved many in the dark past
And I hope before this world is overcast,
I might find a man here whose heart is pure.
Should it be so difficult to be really sure.

I’ve made errors I know but they’re brief
For the rewards I receive and the relief.
Whatever is making me smile less and sad,
I know it won’t last no matter how bad.
I’ll keep going and going someday to reach
The goal of this life only You can teach.
