The morning dawned with the flush of love’s smile,
Words that sought my destruction cast aside,
They have no place in my hopeful world,
That seeks out your Spirit’s breath,
Whispering holy words of fresh hope,
Human judgements transformed by kindness,
I face the day with freedom and lightness.
When I was really at my worst moment,
I had given up on myself,
I thought I was unlovable, worthless,
God remembered my name, “Beloved”,
All around me the death words fell,
Attacking me with hate filled heart,
Trying to control my life on his terms,
Forgetting all about God’s way,
Now I don’t care about death’s rebuke,
I choose the life of the beloved,
Seeking love’s way in all I do,
Never forgetting how close death is.
