Submission

A poem.

Sharon Dyer

At first I thought it was

carefully following

Commandments, precepts,

exhortations—

Making sure my life

lived up,

shaped up

and measured up.

 

But now I realise submission

is more than doing and acting.

It is knowing God’s heart,

cherishing His Word,

caring so much

about His kingdom

that I delight to obey.
