Little Girl, I say to you, Arise

Its not too late
little girl I say to you arise
get up

but everyone else just laughed
it is too late now
she is dead
unresponsive
unrecoverable
unredeemable

But not to Jesus

put them all out, he said

He drew near
took her hand
and said
little girl
I say to you
Arise

Get up
rise up from your self pity
and discouragement
and despair

Get up
I have new life for you
 I have new plans for you

it doesn't matter what anyone else will say or think

It only matters that I am here
in this room
in this quiet hush

put out all the other voices
until it is quiet and you can hear what
Jesus only has to say

He is calling you

Arise
