Fall to Rise

Death by pain
Death by betrayal
Which is more difficult to bear?

when it’s both
It’s more than
What Cain did to the able.
On the day before He died

He washed feet
He broke bread and
Shared wine
With those who worshiped yet denied
With those who worshiped yet betrayed
He knew,

Because that’s how his life was meant to be.
Not a bed of roses, or poses,
But our reality, our refrain

He fell and rose
Fell and rose
Fell and rose
then died and rose

And so will we
If we fall and we attempt to rise
He’ll be there to hold our hand

It’s no surprise
Not if we have faith
Sayeth
The Lord.

It’s not easy when the chips are down
Because it’s easier to frown
Than to love as he did
Than to suffer as he did
Than to bend to God’s will as he did
But we could, couldn’t we?

If the hope of the benefit
Is greater than the fear of the consequence?
Or is that just the wrong sequence?

Choose wisely, he gave us options
Heaven with Him
Or hell on earth
Heart or hearth

What’s it going to be?
