Lifted From the Dead

Lifted from the dead
She remembers where she came from
She recalls:
Sleepless nights, tears unending
Their hopes and dreams
The letters. The bear.
The chocolate. The necklace
The hugs.
How wonderful it all was.
She recalls:
The day her world flipped
Her life-blood…Gone.
Dead inside,
She doesn’t know how to go on.
She thought:
Never shall I love again
Lo and behold
Here she stands,
Love again
Raised from the dead
A love far greater than before lifted her up
The Lord: King and conqueror led her
He raised her up
He brought her life
He showed her love

May You Be Mine

May you be my Savior
O Lord, my God
I cling to you

Rescue me
From my sin
Fill me with your love

In times of change
May you be my rock
On which I stand firm

In times of distress
May you be the calm 
Reigning in my heart

In times of worry
May you be the one
In whom I trust

In times of fear
May you bring me peace
To trust in you

In all trials of life
May you be my strength
My Lord and my God.
