Resurrected – on the path of my journey
I now stand corrected, connected
All those days lonely
-dismissed, rejected, neglected
My life, in its entirety
Revealed, uncovered, inspected
From the thorny fields where I lay
I rise resurrected – to meet this day
Look up to the skies, embrace the Love
Down on my knees, to this world I pray
Oh, angels angling, angling from above
Resurrected – on the path of my journey
soul’s realigned, heart and mind selected
All those days alone – dismissed, rejected
But now, lay bare the truest of truths
My life, this world – the entirety
Resurrected,
from the thorny fields I have risen
To meet this day,
A day where the world, still in division
Let’s stand corrected, connected
-unified, dignified – the world in revision

[Michael W. Smith – “Above All”]
Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
my heaven on earth
…preparing to die
But a hurricane came by
and provided me rebirth
I was better off alive
on the twelfth of September,
the year nineteen ninety two
But the day before,
on September eleventh
God spoke as Hurricane Iniki
barreled through
as I realized the truth
The many hard lessons
I was forced to learn
were the ones handed to me
while still a youth
On the night of September eleventh,
the year of 1992
I was given life and a new beginning
…the wheels of truth were spinning
With purpose, I realized
I had so much yet to do
The many hard lessons
I was forced to learn
were preparation courses
for the days ahead
And in March of 1993,
Kauai I did return
the cradle of my life,
the beauty its bed
