Surrender - by Christine

The Lord told me to surrender. But that's easy to forget.
Life passes like a kidney stone
when running back and forth in the cars of a moving train.
Bad stuff won't stop happening,
and rest will never come,
until I realize I'm mortal,
and not all that powerful,
and let go.
We don't reach heaven by scrambling
and toiling
to build the tallest tower;
We reach heaven by stop being afraid
