What Does It Mean to Surrender?

We journey through triadic path in our earthly life
The straight one, the winding road, and the steep ravine
There is no escaping the journey via each one
For we all are destined by His Great Design.
The well-paved, straight road offers us ease and convenience
We go through it fast with little assistance
No bumps on the road, no blocks, no hindrance
The Lord just asks us to prostrate and give thanks.
Life moves on to the winding, zig-zag road
We step on the brake, holding tight and refusing to let go
But when the brake is broken and nothing else to hold on to
We call and surrender, “Please Jesus take the wheel!”
We are all a project in the making
And everyday is a chance to surrender
To let go of the material world, of unkind words, and of one’s ego
Easy to scribble these words but hard to do
I surrender and pray even just for today
Be with me, Dear Jesus, I am still halfway in this journey
O, but ahead of me I see the steep ravine,
Please carry me in your palm O God most divine!
My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!
