In the Beginning

Don't you know
You are not yet alive?
Though you breathe,
You're dead until you die.

God is here,
In was and in will be.
Now is all
A mortal eye can see.

Close your eyes,
And rest your beating heart.
Lay down fear:
Give life a chance to start.

Trust in God
Who was and will be, too.
Die in Him,
And He will live in you.
