Come forth ...


Come forth

 

2 Corinthians 7:1 

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves

from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

“Lazarus come forth”,

you are dead no more.

Jesus of Nazareth

is standing at the door.

Obey His Voice and get up

to grasp the eternal core.

Just one call He gave you

and death’s power was no more.

 

When you came to the door

were you still smelling?

Resurrected from the dead

pieced together by Life.

All you did is stand

to be looked at in amazement

by every one there present

except by Jesus Christ.
