I Surrender All

May the Lord’s shining light,
Guide you through the darkest of nights,
When you are in that valley so low,
And don’t know which way to go.

May you know the peace that He has planned only for you,
In your days filled with turmoil, He is there to guide you through.
With peace in your heart and love in your eye,
Placed there by the Master when only we try.

Surrender is not bad when we surrender to Him,
But a new way of life, to Him you are the most precious of gems.
His love is the greatest gift that you can ever receive,
All it takes is a simple thing called faith and the will to believe.

So when you feel lost and alone, troubled and weak,
Defeat has left you feeling humble, saddened, and bleak,
Just call out His name and lay your burdens at His feet,
Then you’ll know why the taste of surrender is so precious and sweet.

How right you are, dearest John. So many times I have stumbled searching for the right path. When I turn my life over to God and say, "Please tell me what it is you want me to do," I always sense His blessings immediately. His answers may not come as quickly, but they do come and we know He has guided us in the right direction. Wonderful, inspirational verse, John! Happy Friendship Week! Love, Carolyn
