Faithful Lines

from Him through Him to Him (Romans 11:36)


The Job

This is the worst job

I’m 100% not needed

Extraneous 

No one could move this rock

And it’s been days

No one would want to move the rock now

The smell would be horrendous 

Rotting flesh

I gag just thinking of it

These Jews sure made a fuss of this man

This one man

I’m sure the gods are laughing

Maybe if Jesus had come to our temple

Sacrificed to Jupiter or Juno

He would still be alive

But, no skin off my back

Though there certainly was skin off his

Man they whipped him with vigor

Maybe if Jesus

Had just learned to get along

He would still be alive

And I would have a better post

Who in their right mind would come now

To roll away this rock

It’s done

It’s over!

Caesar will make peace

Among the nations

Whoa, what’s that? 

A tremble, a quake! 

A light! A god?

Now I tremble

With fear of this angelic being

My heart is fainting within me

The stone!

It is rolling away! 

But the body

It’s gone! 

I’ve been guarding an empty tomb! 

The power didn’t come from without

The power came from within
