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
