AGAPE

Will I believe God’s great plan,

   that made me equal with Jesus?

Will I believe what He did for me

   and see the way Jesus sees us?

Will I walk, being Life,

   because He ate Death?

Will I bow to Life’s Lord

   and be put to the test?

To raise the dead

   from pain and decay,

because I’ll believe

   all that Life has to say.

The Kingdom within,

   that longs to get out

and prove all His Word

   is talking about...

must expectantly wait

   ‘til the King says, “It’s time,”

as I’m eating His bread

   and drinking His wine.

Then, Life will break forth

   and do what it is,

as my way lies dead in decay,

   to fertilize Life, already pre-paid,

in His magnificent way.

So, eyes, look at this

   and look not at Death’s care;

This will be Life’s

   ‘Determinate Stare’,

that will laugh at Death’s

   opposition to me,

and see what Life

   has prepared me to be.

Not prepared by me;

   I only choose

what’s already completed,

   so I can’t lose.

The last enemy, Death,

   is put under His feet

and He gave it to me

   so I could defeat....

every lie that Death

   has told me is true.

But Life says, “Let’s prove now,

   What I have made you!”

       “Oh, taste and see that

             the Lord is good” Psalm 34:8
