When I’m Raised

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)

Pastoral
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!
