Death is powerful
It moves us
The death of one
Moved all of us
From the temporal
To the eternal
From the unholy
To the holy
It shifts our entire
Field of vision
Tag: death
Victory
Those who
Stood with Christ
In the beginning
Will stand with him
At the end
Of the prophecy
Victorious
I Corinth 15:54
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
I Corinth 15:57
“But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Through Death’s Door
For by his death
Through his death
Because of his death
Many would come to life
Lord of the living
Lord of the dead
Romans 14:9
“For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.”
Becoming
From birth to death
We experience
The journey of life
But it is not a journey
Of time and distance
Because we don’t
Really go anywhere
It is a journey
Of transcendence
To our true Self
A becoming
II Corinth 5:16
“…Behold all things are become new.”
Christ Within
Eternal within the temporal
Spiritual within the physical
Light within darkness
Life within death
Christ within me
I John 4:4
“…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
Original Sinner
She chose death
For death to her
Was life to Christ
No sin
No savior
No story
She was only
Doing her part
In God’s plan
Of salvation
Genesis 3:3
“Ye shall not eat it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”
Matthew 16:25
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, will find it.”
Alive in Christ
Life is within us
But we are also in life
We are life itself
Anything that has life
Belongs to God
Whatever form
Life takes on
It is still life
Even the dead
Are alive in Christ
Romans 6:7-8
‘For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.”
Thou Shalt Surely Die
When I die
I will be
But a memory
And that memory
Will live on forever
The physical being
Vanishes
And is replaced
With a memory
Of what once was
The mind
Has the ability
To remember
Or forget
But the memory
Is always there
Thank you, Life
For all the memories
They will live on forever
Love, Death
Genesis 2:17
“But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Lord of the Living and Dead
Art: Vladimir Tamari
He came into this world
To take on death and sin
For he was not afraid of death
To give himself up to death
For our sorry souls
By giving himself to death
He brought life to death
And brought the dead to life
For by his death
Through his death
Because of his death
Many would come to life
Lord of the living
Lord of the dead
Romans 14:9
“For to this end, Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.”
I Corinth 15:54
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Eternal Life
Before I was
I was with Christ
When I am no more
I will be with Christ
Where he is I am
From the death of one
Springs eternal life
For the Love of Christ
