Who Can Question?

WHO CAN QUESTION?

by HELEN STEINER RICE



THEY ASKED ME HOW I KNOW IT'S TRUE
THAT THE SAVIOR LIVED AND DIED
AND IF I BELIEVE THE STORY
THAT THE LORD WAS CRUCIFIED.
AND I HAVE SO MANY ANSWERS
TO PROVE HIS HOLY BEING-
ANSWERS THAT ARE EVERYWHERE
WITHIN THE REALM OF SEEING-
THE LEAVES THAT FALL IN AUTUMN
AND WERE BURIED IN THE SOD
NOW BUDDING ON THE TREE BOUGHS
TO LIFT THEIR ARMS TO GOD,
THE FLOWERS THAT WERE COVERED
AND ENTOMBED BENEATH THE SNOW
PUSHING THROUGH THE DARKNESS
TO BID THE SPRING HELLO.
ON EVERY SIDE, GREAT NATURE
RETELLS THE EASTER STORY,
SO WHO AM I TO QUESTION
THE RESURRECTION GLORY?





"TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO YOU,
UNLESS A GRAIN OF WHEAT FALLS
INTO THE EARTH AND DIES,
IT REMAINS ALONE; BUT IF IT DIES,
IT BEARS MUCH FRUIT."



JOHN 12:24









MY MERCY WILL STAY WITH HIM FOREVER.
MY PROMISE TO HIM IS UNBREAKABLE.



PSALM 89:28
GOD'S WORD



THE LORD'S PROMISE IS SURE. HE SPEAKS
NO CARELESS WORD: ALL HE SAYS IS PUREST
TRUTH, LIKE SILVER SEVEN TIMES REFINED.



PSALM 12:6
TLB



WHEN I SUFFER, THIS COMFORTS ME:
YOUR PROMISE GIVES ME LIFE.



PSALM 119:50
NCV



HE IS THE ONE WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH,
THE SEA, AND EVERYTHING IN THEM.
HE IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS EVERY PROMISE FOREVER.



PSALM 146:6
NLT



SURELY GOODNESS AND LOVINGKINDNESS WILL
FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,
AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.



PSALM 23:6
