between sixes and sevens



the weight of the world
sin, the fall from grace
death is ever present
stalking the human race
death is at work within us
yet so is the light of Christ
healing us completely
raising us from the dust

God’s love within us
Spirit of the risen Christ
Life is at work within you
raising you from the dust
God’s love within us
Christ’s light shining
Light in the darkness
fed by the Spirit of Love

between sixes and sevens
the pagan and the divine
life in the balance
in walking the straight line
life or death winning
based on our choosing
our lives can be like the wheat
or the chaff for the fire
