Heart Surrender

The first thing I remember,

That blows my mind,

When I survey true surrender

Is trust in a baby's eyes

Wrapped with open arms extended

Which translates, 'Take me as I am

I give you my heart,

The sum of its parts.'

If we had faith as a child's

Our smiles will be as wide as miles

We can't measure

The strength of our hearts

But we can treasure

The grace we impart.

To whatever cause and whenever

We trust our souls to another,

We exercise heart surrender.
