Upon his head they set
the thorns
the King of Kings
the Lord of Lords
and in his hands they
drilled the nails
while his back still
bled
from claws of the cat of
nine tails
salt in his wounds, a
pierce in his side
it was the sentence to a
trial
so wrongly tried
he cried out and said
“God, It’s finished, I’m done!”
though he saved the
world,
many didn’t believe he
was the true One
but when Life and Death
did battle
with victory did win
Jesus Christ the risen
Savior
seated in heaven now
with Him
God the Father
our Lord and Creator
the Master the Maker
the Potter the Painter
Elohim and Adonai
Jehovah God, El Shaddai
The Great I Am
Father, Spirit, Son
the Trinity battles
tooth and nail
He won’t quit on us
He cannot fail
so to Satan I say, “Let
us fight you to the death!
And let the victor be
the one who lives a second life.”
I say “Let Christ fight
you till the death!
And name as king the one
who gives eternal life.”
see, we’ve spoken lies
and with the same lips
kissed truth
we’ve knocked on hearts
and with the same fists
broken through
we’ve pledged vows
but of promises, kept
few
we deserve death as
payment for our sins
but Christ stepped up
and said “I’ll take the bill”
he gave up his spirit at
the Place of the Skull
saved us on Golgotha
hill
he crossed off my sin
and hung my sin on the
cross
I am sought after and
fought for
though I was but lost
my Jesus he came
to take away all my
shame
to heal a heart full of
pain
to cleanse me and
disinfect me and make me brand new
it is his love and his
light that brightly shines through
the window pane of my
soul
he windexed and washed
the dust and grime in my
life is gone
and the prince of lies
has lost
absent is the heart
aching
because my God is
remaking
I am no longer suffocating
I used to think that
the breath in my lungs
is what brought me to life
but the only oxygen that sustains me is called
Jesus Christ.
