Knowing

Watch as the lamb mounts the cross
Darkening days
Days that darken

Watch as the lion lies down
Piercing bindings
Bindings that pierce

Watch as the hope slowly dies
Cursed with mirth
A mirth that curses

Listen to the silence that blinds them all
A prophecy procured
A prophecy received

Listen to the laughter of the deceived
Violent hopes
A hope that’s violent

Listen as the days climb the steps
The mourning has come
The morning will rise

Believe in the Son – the lion, the lamb
A truth, un-perishing
A truth unyielding

Believe in the blood – a river of life
Hefty the toll
The price paid with love

Believe the promise – I WAS, I AM, I ALWAYS WILL BE
Now
Forever
