Analysis of When I’m Raised
I wonder deep and high
If I will bleed
And be completely dry.
When will Jesus come?
Will I not die?
Will I be raised
From the grave?
Before I can fly?
Or will Jesus
Come before I Die?
I think about these
Things and life it brings.
When the moon is
Bloodshot, I hope
I’m not crammed into
An Earthen pot.
At least my ashes
Can’t rot when I
Was burning and hot.
But when I’m raised
I hope to be praised.
Death shall be no more
After I suffer my lot.
What a life to trot!
