Life in the present

Life in the present
raised with Christ
not having to die
redeemed from the lost

Life in the future
life everlasting
life with Christ
starting right now

Changed forever
never dying
with Christ at the moment
we believe in Him

Life in the present
life in the future
glory forever
walking with our God

Hope eternal
beginning in journey
walking with Christ
until His return

only the flesh

life eternal
one with Christ
forever in heaven
only the flesh
only the flesh will die
at the end of this path
life everlasting
from the first day
the moment we turn
we surrender to Christ
life everlasting
here and now

Resurrection and life

now, in this life,
in the moment we believe
Resurrection and life
in the Christ
in the moment, the second
He becomes our Master
Savior, witness to the resurrection
the first-born of creation
of the life after
Lord of all, our Master, our Savior
the Resurrection and the life
all life kneels before Him,
the Risen Christ
