Sweet, Sweet Surrender

Sweet, Sweet Surrender (click to listen)

Words and music by John Denver

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway

Travelled by many remembered by few

Lookin' for something that I can believe in

Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life

There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me

To somethin' that might have been true yesterday

Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more

Than enough to just be there today

And I don't know what the future is holdin' in store

I don't know where I'm goin', I'm not sure where I've been

There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me

My life is worth the livin', I don't need to see the end

Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air

Interpretation by Bekki

When I look around at my life I feel alone.

It seems I am on a road heading no-where and there is not another soul to be seen.

Many people have gone down this same road, yet most do not remember it

As I travel I search desperately for something I can believe in

What the heck am I supposed to do with my life?

yesterday holds no power over me,

Tomorrow is wide open and the truth is

that nothing is more real than where I am right now.

I can only live for today.

I have no idea what the future holds in store for me

I have no idea where life will take me, heck, I am not even sure of where I have been before now...

I hold fast to the Lord who guides me by His spirit and light

I open my heart and my life...

Even though I have no idea where I will end up,

My life is worth living.

If God truly is leading me, I do not need to see the end...

So I pray I will surrender with confidence

and that the surrender will be sweet

I pray I will Live, live without care of where God leads me, trusting He will be with me always

I will go where I am lead...
