"You are dead -- and yet you have risen! You are in the dark -- and yet you are in the light. You are afraid -- and yet you can rejoice." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
Dead in our sins
Christ came
to die for us
for our sins
everyone and all
not one to leave behind
unless ...
by our choice
we refuse
we say no to Him
over and over and over
countless times
Always no.
Christ came
for you
He sees
He hears
Our tears, our sighs
Our pain
reaches out
to pull us in
because of God's love
God's mercy.
Why oh why do you say no
Why is all He has done
still not enough
What more do you need
What do you seek if it is not
Jesus the Son
God the Father
and the inner voice of the Holy Spirit?
What else is there
Jesus is The One
The Only One
The Only Way
One alone
Him alone
He will guide you
everyone and all
But you must give yourself,
every bit of you,
to Him
Let Him guide you.
The lonely path you travel,
the one that leads far into
the world of fear and dread,
can be overcome
Give your heart and soul to Jesus
Step out into the light and rejoice
Be alive!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the wold to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:16-17)
