Life

Born to die--something that each of us faces
Whether we flare for a brief moment 
Or simmer a long steady time
We are--born to die
And yet You, Lord
Offer us eternity if we will grab Your hand
To run with You
To dance with You
To walk with You

My life spills out onto the earth
Where it will simply be soaked into nothingness
But You provide an escape, Lord
And with that escape comes life
--eternal, abundant, free
Welling up and spilling over always
