“Lazarus – Alive Once More In Christ”
While coming down the hill that day in March,
From chat with Elder, got a brand-new start –
“It’s best you check local churches out;
Go talk with local clergy here about.I did; doors opened fast, and I was in –
Three months in fact was time I would begin –
One month on holidays right at the start;
On my return the rest all fell apart.That was, for me, “Let’s go back there again”;
Not me, this time, but Christ – His Spirit came
And bid me enter there to blow things up –
Release those folks in agriculture stuck.It was not me, for I’d said no before;
Now here I was at local church’s door;
“Just trot along behind and you will see
Effects that happen with My Jubilee.”I did – He did – Ka-boom! They were set free;
Spun out of there, spent time on bended knee;
“What’s this about, O Lord? That hurt a lot!
Besides, I lost credentials that I got.”Unearthly silence followed – like the Psalm,
“Return unto thy rest, my soul,” begun
That night, as midnight hands ticked out the clock,
And left me, quite reluctant, with no talk.I spun back home, enlightened in my dark;
I entered MRD once “tree” gave start
To hearing once again “economy” –
Two ditches and one road, enlightened me.A brief agenda, wrap-up of the quest,
From modules to today at poet’s desk;
And now I’m hearing, “Lazarus come forth –
Ah! Quatro” – for indeed like in the North.Well, Lord, I’m hearing, “Let all that stuff go,
Like Lazarus alive in land of snow;
New life awaited – that’s the last we hear
Of what he did once rising-time came near.Okay, O Lord thanks for Your bidding word,
Your call-out from the tomb, which has been heard;
Help me shake off the grave-clothes in Your time;
Return to life on Your side of that line.Thanks Lord for this
