I AM The Resurrection

John 11.25: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in

me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

How can you be the final resurrection?

That resurrection hasn’t happened yet.

Our broken world is still bent on destruction,

No sun can rise before that sun has set.

Our faith looks back to father Abraham

And forward to the one who is to come

How can you speak as though he knew your name?

How can you say: before he was I am?

Begin in me and I will read your riddle

And teach you truths my Spirit will defend

I am the End who meets you in the middle,

The new Beginning hidden in the End.

I am the victory, the end of strife

I am the resurrection and the life.
