about

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.

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

– Mark

lyrics

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)

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
