My Resurrection

Resurrected from the grave,
my lonely heart you came to save;
though I've known this my life through,
heard it spoke from lips turned blue;
as I grow I'm finding ways,
re-listening to the words you say.

Various meanings, possibilities abound;
reflection, conjecture, educationally sound.
As I think on you today,
I beg you help me find my way.
Now I face another plight,
new decision: fight or flight?

Fight is all I know to do,
incapable though I am, sans you.
If I pause, just stop and stare;
the fear, the worry remains there.
I must not stop, I'll gather speed,
I must push on to further deeds.

You rose today, beat the grave,
never to be a devils slave.
Because You did than so shall I,
not save the world, but kill the lie;
the one that says I'll never make it,
I should lament, lay down and take it.

In the devils face I laugh,
my cup runneth over from God's carafe.
I'm blessed, I'm healthy, I'm happy to boot,
my Faith I'll allow no one to loot.

It is true, I am yet weary;
future prospects lay in theory;
but where there's a will there is also my God,
the One who brings me out, against all odds.
