t’s been 4 days of waiting in this Lazarus tomb.
Long seasons of trusting
Grave clothes on our soul encroaching
We tasted and seen the goodness of His presence
Yet, this long wait has dulled the taste and darkened our eyes
It is hard to see
We are the one that God loves but we have forgotten
Waiting even longer
Chaos heightens, stress thickens, hope darkens
Where are you, God?
We wait alone, nothing
We wait with Him, something
Jesus declares: “This season will not end in death”.
We hear, and we choose to take in His
Glorious light
Presence divine
God has always been in our here and now
Claiming death is just sleep
If we would just believe
Community bringing comfort to the chapters that we believe are ending
Dreams we deemed dead but were only sleeping
God has always been in our Lazarus tomb
It is about time to take off the grave clothes and move
Awake our dreams that were never dead but only asleep
Dreams are not confined to our tombs rather are freed when we choose to move
In His Presence
Believing and saying “yes”
It has been 4 days since being in the tomb.
God was there all along
We were not dead but only asleep
Glorious light
Presence divine
God has always been in our here and now
Claiming death is only sleep
If we would just believe
