No retreat, beautiful surrender. Holy Spirit come! |
My arms were up in surrender I sucked in the moist air around Looking inside myself, or was I? With the music, I danced in the trance I soaked in its melody and swayed There were people around me, or were there? A weight crashed down heavy on my heart I gulped against the burning in my throat I should be falling down, or could I? My eyelids clenched tight down I felt the streams of water on my cheeks The roof sprang a leak, or did it? The burden was heavy; my throat closed I breathed shallow not knowing why I must have done something wrong, or did I? My head fell back in a strained breath I let my arms fall heavy to my side This was God's plan to hurt me, or was it? A wash of peace hit me as a waterfall I took it fully in, and my body relaxed My eyelids fluttered, no tears, or were there? No pain, no sadness weighed on my chest I stood in a rush of silence all around me My belly swirled in warm pleasure, why would it? The questions disappeared from my mind I surrendered to a touch of a hand She was praying, saying something, what was it? Her hand was on my belly and it stirred I held my arms out, enjoying the trance My knees gave way; I fell, now would I land? Gentle arms caught my fast fall to the ground I lay there and my muscles gave way My Lord's waterfall didn't stop, would He let it? Holy Spirit rain down on me, don't stop I felt nothing like it before; I trembled New eyes You gave me, could it be true? Falling, falling, though I was on the ground I sank deeper into the white silence New feet You gave me, to stand firm, You knew? |
