Your scarred hands plunged deep into my dark and murky despair.
You gently took hold and pulled me up into your arms,
and into your heavenly light.
All the guilt, shame and lies I’ve been listening to for so long
strained through your holy fingers
leaving me safe, secure and loved.
You told me to breathe.
You told me to trust.
You told me to live and to live for you.
Once again I am standing.
Once again I will step out in faith.
Let me step out onto the water Lord
let me dance on top of these waves.
And when the swell builds
and if I’m sucked under,
I trust you to propel me from the depths and
toss me high above the undertow
where I can see the sun shining,
the surf spray and
the iridescent water droplets as we dance on crystal waters.
On this earth we will not be without hardship and trials.
You came to give us life
and even more…life abundant and overflowing!
This life is both beauty and pain.
Let me dance no matter the conditions
whether stepping out to turbulence or tranquility.
John 10:10 “A thief has only one thing in mind – he wants to steal, slaughter and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect – life in its fullness until you overflow!”
John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Praying you will dance!!
