Surrender To The Source (Live w The Rogue Mystics) #482

The updated and edited video is coming…!!!
About this Song: (Lyrics below)

This is a song about surrendering. Not in a military sense but in the sense of trusting that there is a reason and a purpose to this crazy thing called life even if we can’t always see it or understand it.

Somedays I want a damn REFUND! You know? But when I hang in there, the purpose of whatever trial or tribulation I’m currently experiencing usually makes itself known… in time.

This is the last track, the last encore, from my Last Concert with the Rogue Mystics on November 19th, 2016.

– Mark

I Surrender To The Source

Song # 482 | 4/19/14 | by Mark Shepard | Live With The Rogue Mystics

I surrender to the source
Of all hope and all delight
I surrender to the source
That guides me through my night

Refrain:
I surrender to the source
I surrender to the source

I surrender to the light
that restores my eyes to sight
I surrender to the light
That turns my darkness bright

I surrender to the truth
That extinguishes the lies
I surrender to the truth
That I can always trust as wise

Refrain:

I surrender to the love
That heals my broken heart
I surrender to the love
And I dare another start

I surrender to the way
That guides me through my day
I surrender to the way
that has the kindest things to say

Refrain:

bridge:
And the wind upon the sea
Dances out a harmony
Upon the pages of my heart
Upon the gifts that I receive

Refrain: (x2)

Some reviews & testimonials

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.
