This little chant of praise flowed spontaneously in the early morning a couple of days ago. It goes with a swing, and is the perfect blog for today, because my heart is overflowing with joy.
Some of you will know that I am currently facing up to my life-long, severe claustrophobia. Today, with my husband, I successfully tackled the busy, windowless lift in a major department store – one I never imagined myself using under any circumstances.
Then, for the first time in my whole life, I went in a lift on my own. Admittedly it was made of glass, but it was still a very significant achievement for me. In fact, I can hardly believe I’m even writing this, let alone that I did it!
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1; NLT).
Yahweh fashions all there is,
Living, dying, rising –
Lord, I praise you.
Jesus comes to set me free,
Living, dying, rising –
Lord, I serve you.
Ruach prays on my behalf,
Living, dying, rising –
Lord, I thank you.
I in you, and you in me,
Living, dying, rising –
Lord, I love you.
Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39; NLT).
