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.”
Do not let
Who you think
You are
Get in the way
Of knowing
Your true self
Do not let
Your thoughts
Define you
Whoever you think
You are
You are not
Because the mind
Cannot comprehend
Your true self
Which is divine
Who do you say I am
You are the Christ
Matthew 16:15-16
“But whom say ye that I am? Thou art the Christ”
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
There are many paths to the truth
And all paths lead to the truth
Eventually
But I have followed no path
For I am the truth
I never left my destination
When my lord
Escaped death
And came back to life
I became a refuge
For him
A safe harbor
St. John 14:3
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; and where I am, there ye may be also.”
Psalms 91:2
“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

When Jesus Christ
Rose from the dead
He took his body with him
So when he appears
A second time
His body
Who is his Spirit
Will appear with him
For they are one
Where he is I am
He is risen
Colossians 3:4
“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”
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.”
As I reflect back on my life
I find it was not my life at all
But the life of Christ
Where he is
I am
There cannot be
One without the other
Colossians 3:4
“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.”
That which was
Came from
What it would
Become
I am now
Who I was
Before I came
Into the world
Proverbs 8:22-23, 27
“The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When he prepared the heavens, I was there…”
Where my spirit is
I am
Where my spirit goes
I go
Without my spirit
I am nothing and nowhere
