Life
Apr 30, 2009Today I Awake
Today I awake and God is before me.
At night, as I dreamt, he summoned the day:
For God never sleeps but patterns the morning
With slithers of gold or glory in gray.
Today I arise and Christ is beside me.
He walked through the dark to scatter new light.
Yes, Christ is alive and beckons his people
To hope and to heal, resist and invite.
Today I affirm the Spirit within me.
At worship and work, in struggle and rest.
The Spirit inspires all life which is changing
From fearing to faith, from broken to blest.
Today I enjoy the Trinity round me,
Above and beneath, before and behind;
The Maker, the Son, the Spirit together
They called me to life and call me their friend.
