The crossbeam of my life
anxiety
sickness
instability
and I fall.
The crossbeam of my life
physical ailment
mental breakdown
spiritual emptiness
and I fall.
The crossbeam of my life
fear
loneliness
expectation
and I fall.
Each time I fall,
I am strengthened by the
love and Passion of Christ
and I rise.
He who knows
the crossbeam of my life
leads me to freedom
in his resurrected life.

Seeking new life
amongst the tombs of life
leaves me bound up.
Broken hearted and left questioning,
called to trust and believe,
is new life possible?
New life for me,
here and now,
it seems impossible.
Even the Son of God
was disturbed greatly
and wept bitterly.
So, I too must able
to express my sorrow
and the agony of letting go.
When I do face what binds me
I am met again and again
with the promise of hope.
Jesus says: I am
the resurrection
and the life.
I know he hears my prayers,
he feels my pain
and comforts my sorrow.
The stench of life
has no grip on me,
for God’s love is greater.
I am unbound,
I believe,
I am Lazarus – free!

Lord, I believe.
I say the words,
do I mean them?
Blindness
comes in many forms,
what are mine?
Do I fail to see
light, life and love
right here and now?
Am I afraid
my belief
will insult others?
Lord, I believe.
You are my vision,
open my eyes.
My blindness
leaves me isolated,
open my eyes.
You are the way
which leads to life,
open my eyes.
I need not be
like Pharisees,
open my eyes.
Lord, I believe.
I trust in the new sight
You give me today.
With eyes opened,
I testify to your love,
for I do believe.
