They laughed at Jesus.


And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.
Mark 5:40

They laughed at Jesus
     when He said
          a girl was just sleeping
               and not dead

They had been mourning
     and would not accept
          that Jesus could really
               raise the dead

Yet Jesus was in control
     sent mockers outside
          and with parents and disciples
               went to a dead girl’s side

They watched in wonder
     listened to what Jesus said
          when with a command
               He raised her from the dead

They had laughed at Jesus
     but were later overcome
          with joy and amazement
               that death had not won

If they laughed at Jesus
     they will laugh at us too
          refusing to believe
               He redeems and makes new

Yes Jesus is Lord
     and will show His control
          as His grace we receive
               and new life we now know
