I choose to rejoice today;
Rejoice that I have life today!
That I am living (even if limping),
And loving,
And growing
And (still) moving.
True gratitude isn't neat,
Or reserved,
But it is costly —
It is radical;
It flows from a deep well
Of sacrifice.
Of knowing I couldn't,
And needing help,
Forgiveness —
I choose to celebrate Yaweh today,
May my life be a living THANK YOU!

I choose to rejoice today;
Rejoice that I have life today!
That I am living (even if limping),

And (still) moving.
True gratitude isn't neat,

But it is costly —
It is radical;
It flows from a deep well
Of sacrifice.
Of knowing I couldn't,
And needing help,
Forgiveness —
I choose to celebrate Yaweh today,
May my life be a living THANK YOU!
