_SiSwati/Zulu: "The Lord is alive, and so we are alive"_
That line carries so much life in it. Here’s an English poem built from it 👇

Because He Lives, We Live
Inkhosi isesiphile kuphila —
The King is alive, therefore I breathe.
Not by luck, not by strength of my hands,
But because the One who cannot die holds me.
When the night was heavy and my chest was stone,
He was alive, and He spoke to the dark.
When my feet were tired and the road gave up,
He was alive, and He carried the road for me.
Inkhosi isesiphile kuphila —
So I rise from ashes that tried to name me.
So I laugh again through tears that stayed too long.
So I hope, even when hope feels thin,
Because life is not mine to lose.
The grave is empty. The throne is not.
The King is alive —
And because He is,
I am.
I will be.
We are alive.
