Apostles

I swear I'll always see you, even when I close my eyes I always did believe you when you said that you would rise I watched you feed one thousand I watched you feed four more Kingdom clean and unbounded, hidden beneath the cellar door Beneath the barren fig tree You spoke there of faith and doubt Threw mountains into the sea, cursed my roots, and cast me out I watched you walk on water I saw you, bathed in light I watched you walk on water I could not follow if I tried (and I tried) I watched the spear in your side bringing forth water and blood That river would not run dry 'til it reached the throne of God I heard the tearing curtain, the temple clothed in dark The sky remained uncertain I washed my tunic in the yard I heard the women weeping I saw the empty tomb Recalled a virgin sleeping, a savior growing in her womb
