Jesus pressed a button

 Jesus pressed a button
And it all began again
Life surged a new
forests and grasslands grew

seasons tackled the skies and lands
animals bred and moved
till the whole mess swarmed 
abundance in the veins of the earth

thick and rich
eternities of satisfaction
Jesus pressed the button 
filling me with life once more

I was nothing in the dip of the blue
remnant of a small island colony
I've rolled and crawled through 
seasons bleak trust and faith crushed

flavor still strong
vein of God feeding my brain
Jesus pressed the button
I am alive today, I stand

Through lost decades of learning
hope so illusive
illusion such a norm
Destined for resignation

I can smell the scent of a new era
Behind color and false grandness
Jesus dragged my carcass
with a drop of ocean water stood me on the sand

Now I walk where he walks 
the land grows where we go
faith is not served in a measuring cup
This one I drink from never empty

  I walked into the future
I've gone hiking into the past
These rolling hills that were once desolate
Now give millenias of harvest
