Tears of Surrender (Retrospective)

The winter was long
I've been holding on to life
Like it could keep me warm
I've been so uptight
I've put up a fight that my own will be done

But now, at your feet
I finally see you're all I'll ever need

So one at a time
Give you all that's mine
But really it was yours all along
I'm loosing my grip
I'm praying you'll rip it from my hands if you have to

'Cause now, at your feet
I finally see you're all I'll ever need

How sweet this surrender
I finally fell apart
With tears of surrender
I give up my restless heart

Nothing else matters
I've found my hiding place
Now these tears of surrender
Fall gently down my face

I scrambled to hold my illusion of control
But I'm lost on my own
Take my hand, will you Father?
My life's on the ground
My trophies and my crowns
I've laid them all down
All I need is you, Father
My worries are gone
When I collapse into your arms
My home all along
Was right here next to you, Father
I'm lost in your eyes
I'm standing here and crying
'Cause I feel so alive with all my trust in you Father
