For you I dance

“You turned my wailing into dancing.”

In the dark of the night you saw my hunched weeping frame. When no one else knew you sqw me, when no one else called or texted you spoke my name and I was more than a thought...

When I was forgotten you remembered me. You lifted my face from the dirt to the heavens. The clouds parted and the sun shone through. 

My tears were wiped clean and that's when I saw you. You healed my wounds. You lifted me from a past of shame and sorrow.

I see with new eyes all you have placed before me. My joy is restored. 

I will praise you stormy weather or sunshine because you turned my wailing into dancing.

I will walk to you because you turned my mourning into celebration!

I will run to you because you gave me life when I was on the brink of decay.

I will pursue you because you healed my brokenness and filled me with the warmth of righteous redeeming blood.

Thank you for being my voice in the darkness.

Thank you for being my cheerleader during my losing streak.

Thank you for being a lifesaver when my head was under deep waters.

Thank you for being a blood donor when human blood was infected by claws of the enemy.

Now they call. Now they text. But my dance will always be with you.

For you I dance.

Just a Psalm of praise on a Monday.
