Psalm 18 Part C) Jesus’ Resurrection Song verses 16-30
(All we have is a share in the righteous won for us by Christ. This is his song.)
I fell deep into the waters
but my Father hoisted me up.
I was destroyed by hate and fear
but my Father broke through
because he delighted in me
as I delight in him.
The Father was in me
and I in him
so every moment of my life
was lived towards him
(righteous, clean, blameless, free!).
I knew him through and through these hands
these eyes, these words, this touch;
and so he has rewarded me,
and my reward is YOU!
Come, step into my open space
step onto solid ground
step into this dynamic love.
Come, become loyal, blameless, humble, free!
Come step into the light, into my safety,
step into the promise that will prove true -
for I am the Way!
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,
but we are now restored by his grace as a gift,
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:23-25)

Note on the photo:
Sorry, this photo is a bit obscure and I need to explain it. It is of a window of a small Maori church at Turakina Beach near Wanganui. The writing, from the inside, reads "Arumai mai ahau" which translates "Come follow me". However, from the outside the word "mai" inverted reads "I AM" which seemed very Colin McCahon-esk and it appealed to me. So, from the outside it reads 'Ahau' ('me') and 'I AM' together.
I also like that you can see both into the church and out to the hills and sky in the reflection. And, if you really look closely, you will see my hands holding my camera also reflected ... as well as bird poop on the window!
