Listen to poem:

As the Son Rises

As the Son Rises
David J Walker

If God so loved the world
Why did he take back his 
Only-begotten Son

Was his innocent blood really 
Worth my intentional sins 

Am I among the ones whose 
eternal salvation is really only 

Another confession and a display 
Of emotion on a Sunday

After another week of weak devotion
And a reckless Saturday

Baptize me at the dawn of
Each and every new day

As the Son Rises again 
And again
