three

a simple song on the night of another friend’s passing

—

this world has become too much to bear,

even our lord he was prone to despair,

my god my god why have you forsaken me,

i thought there is no shadow of turning with thee,

–

but in me, but in me,

there are shadows enough for three,

but in me, but in me,

darkness and concrete three stories deep,

–

i cannot tell and nobody has known,

the taste of this sorrow inside of these bones,

i’ve known your love and now i’ve forgot,

can you remember the nights i did not,

–

but in three, but in three,

but in three days you’ll raise me up,

but in three, but in three,

but in three days i’ll feel your love,

–

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

---

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
