It's not what you think.

Actually, it's freedom
from a life without a leader
from a road without a map

from the fear, the indecision,
all the yearning and the aching,
craving shelter from the storms

It's excitement, and relief,
and relinquishment of worry

a release, a soft surrender
to submit to trust in One
who knows precisely what to do

it's such a cool capitulation...

I have chosen comfort in the King,
am embraced in safe assistance
set aflame, and brought to life,
and am at ease in being owned.

I am possessed, at last, by Love.
