Submission
As each day is a journey on the road of righteousness
For those who seek God daily for His plan of usefulness
We find that there is one condition that must always be
And that must be submission to His will for you and me
For often far too often as we look upon our past
We see how our submission was a thing that did not last
And failing to submit our will to His eternal plan
Made us more of a stumbling block before our fellow man
But when we looked beyond ourselves to what God planned for us
And placed in Him by full surrender our eternal trust
He made us perfect stepping stones each day we chose to be
Reflective of the One He gave Who died on Calvary
For Christ as our Example never had a selfish will
He never sought the praise of men His emptiness to fill
For He was never empty as each day He always found
His soul inspired with joy and peace while bowed on holy ground
For ground where God is present when we meet Him on our knees
Whereby His grace through living faith we can His glory seize
Of goodness love and blessing that He has for us to find
Is also where we leave the past of painfulness behind
And grasp by faith the future knowing as we let Him lead
He'll take us step by step upon the path He knows we need
To follow to be more like Him Who meets us everyday
In quietness and solitude where we have need to pray
For in those quiet moments when submitted to His will
When we lay all our burdens down and just be hushed and still
He shares with us the plans He's made and where He'd have us go
That will make us the more like Him that all the world might know
There is a God in heaven Who surrounds us everyday
Who hears us and abides with us when we take time to pray
Who leads us every moment in the journey we are on
That journey to the Kingdom He declares to be our own
And promises though tempted here and tried by circumstance
If we'll surrender everyday to Him and take our stance
Upon His Law of love and peace cleansed by His blood applied
We'll also walk the streets of gold with Him we crucified
John 15:1-10
