Jesus Christ
Humbled himself
By taking on
The form of a man
He personified God
To make him
Accessible to us
So we would know
Who God is
And would not
Be worshipping
A God we did not know
St. John 17:3
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
It may appear
As if each one of us
Has our own life
But the truth is
There is only one life
And each of us
Plays a part in it
It is not our life
It is the life of Christ
Eternal life
Which he is sharing with us
And we get to
Experience this life
Right here
Right now
There is nothing
Greater than life
To those who
Do not have one
St. John 14:6
”I am the way, the truth, and the life”

Before I ever 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
“There but for the grace of God go I”
I Corinth 15:10
“But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”
The forms
In which life
Manifests
Crumble
And fall away
But life itself
Is eternal
John 14:6
“I am the way, the truth, and the life..”
The spirit of life
Within us is
The only true
Relationship
Between this body
And that life
Within the body
When these two unite
They become one flesh
And one spirit
One life
The spirit is life
Therefore
Only the spirit
Can give
And receive life
For only the spirit
Is eternal
Ephesians 4:4
“There is one body, and one Spirit…”
The only way
To overcome
Sin and death
Is to love
One another
The only way
To eternal life
Is through love
St. John 13:34
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
I John 4:19
“We love him, because he first loved us.”
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
We are born into eternal life
Born into the knowledge of Christ
It is innate to know
That which was in the beginning
Because that is all there was
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Before I ever 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
I Corinth 15:10
“But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”
The forms
In which life
Manifests
Crumble
And fall away
But life itself
Is eternal
