I Surrender Heavenly Father

I surrender, Heavenly Father
I have wanted all the wrong things
I can't take one step farther
Without what repentance brings

Pride- what is that?
I have lost control
Imprisoned- is where I'm at
I am trapped in a hole

I have fallen prey
To the drug of pleasure
I have lost my way
And given up life's treasure

I want to feel peace,
Joy, and happiness
To have insanity cease
And through Thy Son be blessed

I want to feel wrapped in love
As a submissive child
I want to rise above
Being base and wild

That is why this day
I have turned to Thee
To repent, cry, and pray
And discover the free me

O That Cunning Plan of the Evil One
Elder M. Russell Ballard
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Ensign, November 2010,

There is hope for the addicted, and this hope comes through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.
