(For the girl I lit the candles for)

I was going to write about how I had to learn how to see life as a game with pieces to move or cards to play.  How I had no choice and even was quite good at it.  How I could see the hidden strings and even pull them at times.

But no, this is a song of surrender.  

When there are no apparent moves to be made or good enough cards to play, this is the only real path forward.

I once heard a sermon that said the safest place to be is in the will of God.

In many concerts, U2 also closes with 40, their take on the Psalm.

I waited patiently for the Lord He inclined and heard my cry He lift me up out of the pit Out of the miry clay

He set my feet upon a rock And made my footsteps firm Many will see

Many will see and hear

I will sing, sing a new song

This is a song of surrender.
