(un)spoken word

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.
