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
