A Poem of Surrender

Oh Jesus I come with clenched fists
With many tears I kneel at the cross
With great resistance I pry open my hands
With great resistance I offer You my heart

Oh Jesus I come with clenched fists
With many tears I kneel at the cross
Slowly my hand opens to You
Slowly I offer You my heart

Oh Jesus I come with clenched fists
With many tears I kneel at the cross
Again I pry open my hands
Again I offer You my heart

Oh Jesus I come with clenched fists
With many tears I kneel at the cross
This time my palm opens more easily
This time I offer You my heart

Oh Jesus tonight I come with unclenched fists
With many tears I kneel at the cross
Freely I offer You my heart
—You sweet Jesus have earned my trust
