Rescue From Death

With myriad horrors, the dark night of this world is rife.
Sin’s reign of terror abounds, propagating suffering and strife.

On Earth there’s pain all around us; where we live sin and death thrive.
High points provide poor consolation; none born here get out alive.

We have no hope in ourselves; humanity cannot escape the grave.
Even the best of us face the same fate; all are born, to nekron, a slave.

We desperately need lumination; a bright light to come from above.
We need rescue from death and damnation; something to darkness, away from us, shove.

Take heart Friend, for our God in Heaven, has shone upon us, His face.
He who created the world in days seven, rains down on us mercy and grace.

He sent God the Son, High King Jesus, to for our sin suffer and die.
Seeing us dead in sin He came to us, and did not heartlessly pass us by.

Humbly, Christ came to be beaten, mocked, nailed to wood and killed.
He showed His love for us on Calvary, when His blood, for us, was spilled.

Though for our own sin we are guilty, Jesus came to pay our ransom price.
To satisfy God’s just wrath for sin, only the blood of the Divine would suffice.

A spear was thrust through His heart; fully dead He was placed in a tomb.
But three days later He rose up in victory, having defeated the darkness and gloom.

Rescue from death is accomplished by our God, Jesus, who’s risen and reigns.
His glorious light has shone upon us; He tore, in pieces, sin’s chains.

Call out now to the Lord Jesus, and accept His free gift today.
All who repent and trust in Him, will never be turned away.
