Surrender

Come to me my sad, sad child
With your tears overwhelming your eyes.
You’ve taught yourself through all this time
to quiet down your cries.
To wipe your tears, and hug your chest,
And sob into your lips.
Let loose yourself in mournful calls
but never lose your grip.

Come to me my sweet, sweet child-
let me hold you and kiss you goodnight.
Wet my shoulders with all that hurts,
Make room for heaven’s light.
I know you’ve got a lot to give,
And God will make it right;
But, while you’re tired and in your mind,
I can love for you tonight.
