Reject The Lie

The poem Teddy will be sharing in Church this Easter Sunday...

Last August my neighbors boyfriend got hooked on drugs again
In September she peed on a stick to realize that she had been impregnated by him
Two days after Our Lord revealed himself to them
Right now there's no fairy tale story ending, but the reason he only sleeps on the streets some nights
Is because she has faith that the God of creation bled for them so she wants to do what's right
Her due dates coming soon and he's still struggling with the pressures from her womb
But because a man died and was prophesied to be resurrected
Every aspect of life has been divinely affected

Now when I talk to him I see different looks in his eyes
On good days I see hopes glaze, on bad the haze of buying lies
Like two women approaching an open tomb
He too will be excited and confused with the vacancy of a womb
For nine months he's known what's coming
But there's no preparation for holding a child of grace so stunning
And all of humanity similarly should have known what was coming through prophecy
But we couldn't understand and now every aspect of life has been affected by one man

It's hard to wrap my mind around it but apparently that was Gods plan
To shatter the ridiculous with the miraculous
To give hope to the hopeless through the mysterious
To give redemption and reconciliation to all men through the sinless
So lay down the idol of the Christ you've resurrected
And go to the source to be permanently affected
With life everlasting, rejecting the lie, because in Adam all die
But in Christ's death we have been made alive
Reject the lie, because in Adam all die
But in Christ we have all thing's for Godliness and life
Reject the lie, because in Adam all die
But in Christ's death we have been made alive

...powerful.
