Surrender

By Rev. Dean Beaty    5/13/08

 

Some people surrender when God first calls their name.

Some upon the second, they’re just about the same.

Some will keep resisting for a year or two.

Until soundly beaten, they meet their Waterloo.

 

God’s a loving Father who deals with us in grace.

After we surrender, He’ll help us run life’s race.

Surrender’s not an option or we’ll fight on by our self.

We will lose the battle and end upon the shelf.

 

God wrestles with some servants.  Remember Jacob’s name?

He learned a mighty lesson but all his life was lame.*

Will you now surrender or meet your Waterloo?

The day of God’s new blessing is entirely up to you.

*Genesis 32:24-25
