BERSERAH (SURRENDER)

Song composed sometime in 2003

Kekuatanku, perlindunganku
Hanyalah dariMu saja
Segala yang ada padaku
Hanyalah bagiMu saja

Kuberharap, kuberserah
Hanya, kepadaMu saja
Seluruh hidupku, kupersembah
Pakailah tuk rencanaMu

Meski jalanMu bukan jalanku
RencanaMu beda denganku
Oh Tuhan, ajarilah aku
Tuk slalu setia kepadaMu

Meski tubuhku, hancur berkeping
Jiwaku, tersayat habis
Oh Tuhan, ajarilah aku
Tuk tetap setia kepadamu

An Indonesian Christian song I composed in year 2003. The title means ‘surrender’. It is about offering my life to God, trusting in His way which differs from mine and requesting Him for the strength to be faithful to Him despite difficult circumstances. At that time I was going through so much. There were something like persecution to my faith, my ambition cannot be fulfilled, I lost practically everything from fellowship, church, career, ministry, dreams, friends, etc. But He gave me the strength to endure and turn situations around for my good. God works for the good of those who loves Him and who has been called in accordance to His purpose.
