Rise to Life

Rise to Life

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Rise to Life

 

Come to the alter

Though your plans falter.

Raise up your face

And soak in His grace.

 

His hands reach

The deepest sea,

Calling far and wide,

“Rise to life”.

 

He calls hearts to Himself,

To give out-of-this-world wealth.

Jesus gave His life, laying it down

So eternity’s heaven might be found.

 

Get up, O sleeper,

There’s much to do to go deeper.

For He is nigh,

Rise to life.

 

His glory shines,

His love divine.

His mercy holds,

His faithfulness bestows.

 

His heart reaches

Into the deepest,

Calling from on high…

“Rise to life.”
