Surrender Is Its Own Reward


It was in the letting go
It was in the breathing out
and the breathing in
where I found release.

It was not in my hand
It was not in the plan
of my making
where I found peace

It was...
The surrender
Surrender
Falling back
open hands
open heart
Surrender is its own reward

Never this for that
to get the word
to know the road
that lay before me

Waking up to find
the thumb on my back
was always mine
It don't come easy

It was...
The surrender
Surrender
Falling back
open hands
open heart
Surrender is its own reward

No need to be seen
Or wrestle to rise 
Desire undivided
To rest in sweetest grace

Through glass darkly
trusting the unknown
Only a piece; just a part
Until face to face

It was...
The surrender
Surrender
Falling back
open hands
open heart
Surrender is its own reward
