I wrote this when I couldn't sleep the other night because of my backpain. It might go on the gospel album, if the others like it:

No title yet, but if I was held at gunpoint about it, I'd probably say it was called "You Are Alive."--it has a slow, traditionalish gospel tune.

If every moment is a renewed blessing
If every choice is a chance to progress
Then Lord, take this day, this very hour
Teach us to live out your righteousness

You are alive. Our hands are open wide
You are alive-- and faithfully dwelling inside
You are alive. Our hands our open wide
You are alive. You are alive.

We give you our plans. Our every idea
We think that we have as direction from you.
We give you our longings, our lacks and our fears.
All the lies that we cling to, we exchange them for truth.

And we believe-- our hands are open wide.
We believe-- you are faithfully dwelling inside
We believe-- our hands are open wide
We believe. We believe.

There is nothing we could do
To be worthy of this gift from you
Beautiful giver of life
You desire mercy, not sacrifice.

If every instant is a renewed blessing
If every choice is a chance to progress
Then Lord take this day, this very hour
Teach us to live out your righteousness.

We believe. Our hands are open wide.
We believe you are faithfully dwelling inside.
You are alive. Our hands are open wide.
You are alive. You are alive.
