Ode to Comin' Alive

A series of odes...

Dead to Alive | Deborah Tracey - Canon Photography

Amen, from death to life
Amen, from dark to light
Amen, I'm singin' out tonight

- Amen (Reborn) - For King & Country

Coming alive
deportation
restoration
follow, trust
Light or bust
You're fired
rehired
confused
full of guilt
pain and anger
Devil's lair
reconciliation
can't breath air
fractured grief
removed belief
borrowed shame
Then Light came
you still to blame
but coming alive
with You
breakthrough

Your worth

oh my God
oh my God

Rebirth.


Rap Style Amen - by me :)

Lately, I’ve been carrying a heavy weight that’s been indescribable. I had an epiphany this past weekend of our sudden rejection in 2020. We were consumed in fire from a left field torch thrown through our front door. And we were fired.

Two and a half years later of being silenced, we were brought back by the skin of our necks, into our “whole” family again. I knew God’s amazing hand was in this, but what I never knew was how I would carry a burden of guilt for not knowing how to behave going forward. There was no “don’t ever do that again” or “what you said was wrong and hurt us,” or “here’s the deal,” etc.

We were brought back to the office, placed in our chairs and silently told to carry on.

Much like what we are continuing to see in the world around us. Silenced. Hello again. That never happened. Carry on. Keep being you. Okay?

Satan is an expert at division. And are we prepared for more?

But I realized that no man can revive our souls. And yet, I have wanted that. My extra 50 pounds said so. Only God can do that. He reconciles us to Him, when really? we wish we could be reconciled to them… those who we love and admire here on earth.

I’ve been frozen in my trust that I won’t be fired again. For being me. Even a much worked out, possibly improved version of me. But my, our, your rebirth is a continual crying out to God. Nothing more. It’s making everything we experience during the day a prayer, a petition and a thanksgiving to God. It’s the only thing that can fill the void of the unknown.

The rest of the story is to remove the weights of man, and ourself most importantly, and keep walking toward the Light.

Comin’ alive with You…
