Surrender

Rosh Chodesh Kislev, 1st Kislev 5770, November 18th 2009

Psalm 103: 19-21

Adonai has established his throne in heaven;

His kingly power rules everything.

Bless Adonai, you angels of his,

You mighty warriors who obey his word,

Who carry out his orders!

Bless Adonai, all his troops,

Who serve him and do what He wants!

Everything within me is longing for You,

Longing for streams full of You,

Streams that are overflowing

To water thirsty territories within me.

Areas that want to be put in

In dried up steppes elsewhere.

Let your springs pour water on thirsty land.

Why am I so afraid,

Am I looking around anxiously?

His love is not rude…

Come, surrender to Him,

To his overflowing love.

Just trust Him,

Behold the Lamb slain for you.. come..

He is waiting for you!

Come daughter of Israel..

He is true, pure, good.

Surrender to Him..

He will fill you up.

Fear not…

He is faithful… Have faith!

Lay your life in his hand

Your will in his will

And you will live as you were meant.

Let go, surrender…

To your creator, your Lord.

Relax under his touch…

And from now on live only for Him.

Yielding is not losing, bur only gaining

Only in this way! will you be useful in his hand.

Surrender and become filled… in honour of Him!
