If He didn’t…

If He didn’t rise,
They’d be right you know.

If He stayed in bed,
If He stayed dead,
If Christ didn’t rise,
I’d be screwed.

If He didn’t rise,
I would’ve wasted too many hours,
Waking up early, trying to pay attention, giving money,
And the worst part about it,
Is that I forgot to get the receipt for my taxes.

If He didn’t rise,
The Bible would be a sham,
And they’d be right.
Do you know that?

I'd think to myself,
The church is evil,
There probably is no evil,
If there's no evil, there's no good,
And then why on Earth --
No, why the Hell should I help someone else,
Who couldn't help me even more?

If He didn’t rise,
Prophets would be schizos and swindlers,
The disciples a bunch of dimwits,
Paul would be a tool,
And Jesus would be either a con-man or a lunatic,
Wait, a masochist...definitely a masochist.

If He didn’t rise,
Jesus wasn't God.
And you’re still in your sins.

If in Christ we have hope in this life only,
we are of all people most to be pitied.
