I am born
thrust into the world
out of water, out of pain
struggling with desperation
crying with fear

I exist
experience tumbles into memory
laughter turns to weeping, grows back again
growing fades to being, being to growing
I am bathed in love, clad in security
product of life, seeking to find it

birth comes again
I am swept from the world
out of tears, out of pain
crying with anticipation, then with joy

I live!
soaring on eagle's sings, plummeting to earth
running, falling, searching, losing
growing, yearning, seeking, learning
my God sustains me, lifts me up
I run to His shelter, He is there

in eternity
my soul presses onward
in a timeworn upward path
overcomes death, triumphs satan
ultimately rests in God's palm
to sing praises with the angels
