Raised
For Someone Else
Go on get out of here you miserable no good bum
Lazarus tired afflicted addicted and more looked glum
His days upon this stoop soon over
His much need rest our Lord would cover
But that evil owner the purveyor of pride
His day too coming and not such a good ride
Squandering his wealth on secular prizes
His upcoming demise will bring awful surprises
For Lazarus he will make it to Heaven with his honesty
That rich fool he will greet Satan and that’s not funny
For his foolishness has gained him eternal fire
Reaching out to Lazarus to no avail for the relief he does desire
This was only a parable that our Lord left us
Or was it our reality and its time to become serious with our Lord Jesus
Time to end our secular ride or else
Our Father’s Hand is being held out not for us but for someone else
Amen
