Yielded and Still
Yielded and Still [Prayer]
May I remain surrendered
Yielded and still
My heart aches for love
That seems not to be your will
For anything that will lead me
Away from your master plan
Means that I deny you
Refuse to take your hand.
I believe you have your reasons
For saying, “be yielded and still”
So I’m complying with your words
Even though it’s not my will.
Without a true conversion
The other heart does not understand
I can only shed tears of loss
And trust my future in your hands.
To remain surrendered to you
Takes love that does confound
Not an unconverted heart
With desires otherwise bound
Help me to remain surrendered
For it is a daily thing
Take away my desires
My selfish will to sing.
I need your help to yield
And remain still in your sway
My heart says, “Go back to your love
For that’s the only way”
This struggle I surrender to you
For I know I have no power
But to lean on you, Lord
Yielded and still every minute of each hour.
