a profound silence
in this shrouded mystery
of luminous dark
in this shrouded mystery
of luminous dark
beaten for mankind
crowned with piercing thorns
hung broken to die
though abused and killed
His defeat is victory
for the Love of God
a bursting of hope
as light shimmers through darkness
His majesty shines
though hurt and abused
this defeat is victory
in the name of Love
with His eyes resting
revealing my heart and soul
this Face gives comfort
eyes slowly open though
lids be glued with blood and tears
bringing joy and peace
tell of deep, dark mystery
in this still silence
this Love penetrates
springs up a bubbling Spirit
opening Sheol's door
victory bursts forth
light overcomes all darkness
His majesty shines
offering to show the Way
humbly, i follow
Chap, you get my vote!
