I have risen from the ashes
Not in my power or my own strength
But through Your blood and the Hope you spoke into my life
You made manifest Your presence and shook off the Devil's lies
When You reached down into my pit and scooped me into Your arms
Nursing me to health with merciful grace
The enemy fled because You said, "No more! He is mine.
I have bought him. I have forgiven her.
They are my children, my righteous beloveds."
Though the enemy fled, he returns with enchanting vices time and time again
I look down upon my arms and see the visible scars
The memories of past pains rise to the surface
And in these dark nights of the soul, these times of doubt
You compel my mind to see my scars upon Your Son Jesus
His painful stripes piercing to the bone, unrecognizable to mankind,
blood pouring forth showering humanity with forgiveness and love
Exchanged wounds, I live in You, live because of You
My never-ending liberty paid on the cross, my life anew
Rising up like Your body was revived in three days time
Oh Jesus, be our hope eternal, unconditional, and fill us with Your love
Let our humbled, repentant hearts walk forward in You
loosing shackled brothers and sisters
We cry out for humanity's resuscitation and well-being. Amen.
