Piecing together of what makes sense
The thoughts of God and recompense
Trying to comprehend the defeat
Of sin, fear and death – all at my feet
I ask God to help me understand
How these were conquered by his hands
The same hands of which everything made
As my price for sin takes me to my grave
Then deep inside of me he spoke
He explained how sin grips like egg to yoke
And took form from whence it all began
In Eden he created the first woman and man
Flesh to sin – sin to their pride
Their desire to be their our own gods inside
And to this weakness the destroyer understood
He once wanted to defeat God if ‘only’ he could
When their eyes opened they knew their demise
Sin, fear and death were visible to their eyes
The need of assurance and life were required
The gift of grace given of God’s desire
And there was no hope for all mankind
To wash away sins they left behind
To face a Holy God was impossible
Knowing hell and destruction are never full
As man chooses what’s right in their eyes to see
Immorality and yoke of sin covers their whole body
And the only part of hope for all that is lost
Is when Christ defeated sin, fear and death at the cross
The last things in life we all must one day face
To take the offer of the cross we know of as grace
For it is what breaks the sting of fear and death
Atonement of a one both man and God – perfect
To come to the cross – our burdens we lay
Repentance and trust – to love and to pray
Give Jesus our hope, our hurt and filthy rags
Let go of the grip of Earthly things we have
Be born again and he will make us all new
Though this is something he cannot make us do
He can only offer this until our very last breath
For it is our very last thing on Earth that is left
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:26
