From the Heavens above in majestic praise,
to the earth below set apart for the day.
From riches to rags Jesus did descend,
the creator, the entity of holyness for us became sin.
Tempted and put under strain in ever way,
set apart to endure it all, all judgments on Him paid.
Sorrowful even to the point of death ,
how strong His love was and is for the lost,
Entered He on the donkey, palm branches down, He wept,
He satisfied the debt forever, His life , His all in all was the cost.
Knowing His hour to come, and what was to take place,
lovingly he let Judas's betraying kisses fall onto His face.
Betrayed murdered slayed, spit on whipped upon His back
the hated rejection felt, never was there slack.
Mocked by the ones , ones unworthy to call Him King,
His love still not changed, as he submitted to death's sting.
Brutally nailed and pierced alive, Jesus the Christ hung,
all the world's hate and crimes on His soul were wrung.
Pain unbearable he beared on that, the cross,
outsretched arms opened, calling to the lost.
He pleaded "Father Forgive them, they know not what they do"
for everyone ,and for all of us, not just for the jews.
The skies and heavens darkness hastened,
the earths, oceans and moutains shaken
they cried out surely this is the Son of God ,what have we done,
the enemy knowing now the victory , victory Jesus the Christ had won.
A spear thrust into His side, unbelievable shock that He had already died,
on the sixth hour passed so did His Spirit,
enough startling the govenor did so fear it.
Another soldier to check his breath, discovering Him already well past death.
Laid in the tomb, so torn beyond the recognition of a man,
sealed and closed off for good, with soldiers outside on stand.
His own enemies remembering His saying that He would rise again,
yet His loved ones scattered dejected , they're faith now 'caved' in.
The bright host of the most High God, and the broken sealed grave,
the Angel of the lord sat atop the stone-coffin where Jesus previously laid;
His message was " He is not here; for He is risen, as He said",
the only ones now laying, the soldiers terror-shocked as if dead.
Appeared He did to ones who had, and had not held on,
great joy to hear, Jesus the Christ has risen began their unrythmic song.
Now with authority over the heavens and the earth, Jesus
lived each day according to His Father's will, from every moment of His birth.
Leaving His words with those He loved, promsied another from above,
wonderful counsoler and HolySpirit a friend and comforter to all who hear it.
He ascended to Heaven, the father, after the promise that He gave
"and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
