The Resurrection Body

Some may ask, "How will the dead be raised?

    "What kind of bodies will they have?"

Don't you know that question is crazed

    But we can look to gardening in behalf

Just as a seed must die before the plant can grow

From the physical will our spiritual bodies show

Each kind of seed grows a different plant

Likewise there are distinct kinds of flesh as God grants

There are bodies in the heavens 

     and bodies on the earth

The sun, moon, and stars 

     have glories that are diverse

Resurrected bodies are first planted into the ground

But when we are raised eternal life is now found

Our bodies are buried in brokenness

But they will be raised in glory

They were first buried in weakness

But will then be raised in vitality

The first man, Adam, became a living person

But the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit

We start out physical that much is certain

But then become reborn without any limits

Physical bodies can't inherit the Kingdom of God

They won't live forever that is why it is too hard

But we will not all die, we will be transformed

Into immortal bodies will we be reformed

Death where is your victory; where is your sting?

Jesus has conquered you. Let His praises ring!

Let us be strong and immovable, 

     working very eagerly

Knowing that nothing we do is done ineffectively
