I surrender to Thee
My heart, my soul, my pride, my ego
What I have, what I don’t
My tears and my failures, my successes and my highs
All laid down at your Feet
I want to bow down before You
Grasp Your Lotus Feet and never let go
Clasp my hands tightly around Your Heels
So no arrow can touch You without piercing me
All I ask is that you let me lie
With my head on the floor
I will take care of Your bejeweled feet
Cleaning it carefully with my tears
And if my arrogance or my pride
Causes me to lift my head to glance at You
I ask that you lift Your feet as the dwarf king
And crush me into the ground where I belong
And once in a while
Just so I know Your mercy is there
Let an eager flower falling from Your garlands
To touch Your toes, land on my head first
Enroute to its blessed end
But I will ask this also (nothing more!)
A glance from the corner of Your eye
At my supine form, a glimmer of a smile
So I know that this is what You want
My total and complete surrender
My total and complete surrender
Of form, will, thought, emotion
Everything that You gave me
Everything that I self-taught
I beg You to wipe them all out
And what remains is truly You and Yours only…..
