The lyrics below have been revised, but the recording you hear was made in 1982, with the original lyrics, on a cheap little tape recorder with a built-in mic. I hope I will be healed enough to be able to re-record it, but that hasn't happened yet.

SWEET SURRENDER

Oh can you see, this love I have for you,
When this love is everything I do?
And even when we go through pleasure and pain,
They are like sunshine, and like the rain.

Love is growing, but Love is also pruning.
And Love's fire, is for the Ego's burning.
But then Love's rain comes to wash away the pains,
As the moon waxes, and as the moon wanes.

Sweet surrender, love, we should not hide.
Sweet surrender, we have to show what's inside;
And from the morning light, to the close of the day,
Follow your heart, and say what you need to say.

You can see the One that you need to adore,
In the ones who keep loving you more.
For they are the ones who let us be,
Who we really are when we let our soul be free.

I used to pray to a "Father" above.
But then I saw the Light, and I knew God's Love.
I knew the father and mother are One, who by any name,
Is the Great Spirit-Parent, who loves us all the same.

Sweet surrender, love, we should not hide.
Sweet surrender, we have to show what's inside;
And from the morning light, to the close of the day,
Follow your heart, and say what you need to say.
