There are some things I'd rather keep to myself
Things I don't want to be questioned about
Things I never let go.
These are things I tie up firmly and charmingly with ribbons of pride
They are hidden deep down,so deep down in my heart
That sometimes even I fail to recognise them.
They are in a vessel sealed away tight
And though I"d give my all up,
I'd keep this vessel to myself.
There are some things I keep to myself
Yes, I do.
I hold it as my person,my right;
But when I come to the altar
And deposit my offerings
I find the vessel is what You want laid down.
How do I lay them down?
Why should I?
'Cause these are the things I'd rather keep to myself LORD!

I wrote this while I was in college and was struggling with my future plans.Surrender didn't come easy,even to the one I called my"Lord".
