John 10:1-10 4th Sunday of Easter

I hear the cry from all sides

               come follow

               See how I have put together the facts

               Hear the story I have woven

               airtight

that sounds by all reason

               like truth

I yearn to follow

               but where

I hear the cry from within

               (I have come)

and know that voice

               I see not

               I hear not

the seamless reason

of carefully crafted facts

I know only the one who was

on the cross

               (that you might have life)

Who tasted death

               And life

               Before me

Who has risen

               To bring life to me

               Peace to me

Hope to me

that I may now shout for Joy

and Live

               (life in its fullness)

Life
