Three Days Long

Hungry and straitened ... Enlarged and content Made to suffer earthly famine-starved pain Comforted by faith pleasure of heavenly, future falling Eden rain As I await to go lay in my dirt bed three days long, I believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead, wearing a holy Resurrection crown Alleluia is the poured baptism water of my Amen song The short slumber before the change is gonna be three days long Every Word of God is the manna which satisfies my famished soul This cold dead body is comforted by the warmth of the quickening coals These Christian bones will be buried in the hearth of the earth three days long When I shall arise, Alleluia will be the poured praise of my Amen song

A most interesting piece. This brings to mind Romans 14:11. You do well to give God Praise.
