Radically Reversed
by Michael Doyle

Reversing the brokenness of circumstance
To give sacred life to its every chance
Knowing that those who have less are not less
However much life's moments might be a mess

The most hurting present are our family
Blessed be this truth in affirmed dignity
Each child met in their needs and in real time
Are like words collected into the best rhyme

Take your drink of life giving water
Given in the prayerful mercy from our Father
Giving our own best moments like a seismic shift
In humble supplication, we pray it provides lift

Raised all across this best of blessed nations
Given unto each as needed with great appreciation
The roads we must climb are no longer stranger
Yet, with each step are filled with dread and danger

The troubles felt seem as lived in isolation
Yet, we are not alone in reaching for our destination
We are meant to always encourage one another
As each of us would give these words to sister or brother

Waiting as we are to restore the broken circumstances
In hopeful reminder to take and make the best of chance
Swirled as it is, we know that we do not walk alone
Every sin confessed is our moments to release and atone

Its our part of this kingdom to take opportunity
And pioneer our way into serving into God's true legacy
Blown away in faith, we must live as one family
Deserving God's blessing and knowing affirmed dignity

Go ahead then and take a moment to make the decision
To take on our part's better service with vision
The choice it seems is already ready to be made
Walk these roads bravely and be not afraid
