I don’t want to be sad. Not anymore.
Not even in my dreams, because I have other reasons to wake up now:
to sing holy,
to remember a love so deep He gave His most precious Son to die on a cross for me,
to hear His voice calling me to rise, to know it was Him who just called me daughter and no other,
to have my thoughts all gather before him,
to let my silence wander before His feet,
‘I’ve told You everything, please just let us be here before You,’
‘You know the rest, I just want to thank You’
to see He let me have a good nights rest when… in another time I could’ve woken up scared and weary; exhausted, and feeling sick… dreading rising from my bed, and the day that was starting.
So you see, I could’ve fallen for it just like the last 29 years, but today I knew;
Even if evil thinks it won, it’s in His hands and in His hands only where resurrection’s power rests.
I didn’t even have to swear myself to love or honor, not even faith;
Even my heart knew this, and I loved Him.
The dawn is upon me.
Even if they think they won I’m His daughter; alive in Him.
Free in Him.
How could I remain sad?
I’ve, too, known whom I’ve believed.
