Thus I Wrote

I am Lazarus!
Drowzy and dazed
I am buried
Will I be raised?

I am Lazarus!
In my tomb so tight
In the darkness
Who will be my light?

I am Lazarus!
Lonely and forgotten
I smell of death
Redundant and rotten

I am Lazarus!
Weighed down by pride
Too full of fear
To let anyone inside

I am Lazarus!
Is your love enough?
To be my saviour
And raise me up?

I am Lazarus!
Praying for redemption
Praying for a purpose
To lever my ascension

I am Lazarus!
Someone opens my tomb
“Now raise yourself,
From your second womb”
