Victory over death 2

VICTORY OVER DEATH. 2. (brushpoint, b.l.); THE WAY THE TRUTH & LIFE. / MURIWAI. FEB. '70 McCAHON. (brushpoint, b.c.)

AM I

'Now my soul
is in turmoil
and what have
I to say?
Father, save
me from this
hour.

No, it was
for this
that I came to
this hour

'Father, glorify your name.'

A voice sounded from
heaven.
'I HAVE
GLORIFIED
IT, AND I WILL
GLORIFY IT
AGAIN.'

'The light
is among you
still, but not
for long. Go
on your way
while you
have the light
so that darkness
may not over-
take you. He
who journeys
in the dark
does not know
where he is
going.

I AM

The crowd standing
by said it was
thunder, while
others said, 'An
angel has spoken to him.' Jesus
replied, 'This
voice spoke for
your sake,
not mine.'

the light
is among you

While you have
the light,
trust to the light,
that you may
become men of light.'

'My way is Known to you.'
