I'm Alive

I

am

alive.

Lord, I

am alive

today in You.

I am alive.

And suddenly

birdsong is now

a hymn.

And a chilled

northern wind

is the breath

of angels gathering.

This hard pavement

under my feet

tells me the world

is sturdy and strong.

And even

the creak

in my knees

reminds me that

I can still walk,

that I can still move

and that my morning

walks with You, Lord,

are not a walk at all

but a dance with the Trinity. *

And all these things

tell me this:

I

am

alive.

Amen and Hallelujah

1 Corinthians 15:22

*I think Timothy Keller’s book Jesus the King: Understanding the Life and Death of the Son of God is where I first heard the Trinity described as a dance.  I’ve read that same description elsewhere as well, but I wanted to make sure I gave Keller some credit.
