Thus says the Lord God: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people! I will put my spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the Lord. I have promised, and I will do it, says the Lord.
--Ezekiel 37:12-14-
Unbind him and let him go.
--John 11:44-
My Own Stone
When I am closed in, Lord,
I cannot move my own stone.
Call to me, please.
This is how I want to love you:
unbound and deeply alive,
faithful to your promise.
Bring me home,
home to your people
and to mine, home to Love.
