Monday After Easter

Today I awake
and God is before me.
At night I dreampt
He summoned the day:
for God never sleeps
but patterns the morning
with slivers of gold
or glory in grey.

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 around me,
above and beneath,
before and behind,
the Maker, the Son,
the Spirit together.
They called me to life
and call me their friend.
