A Sword

Writer's picture: Old Things Pass AwayOld Things Pass Away

A sacrificing Savior

He has paid the penalty

For your wickedness and mine


He will rule and reign

He will crush His enemies

He will hold an iron rod


I am not deceived

I am not confused


A man of war

A God of war

A man of peace

A God of peace


Light and dark

Echos and balance

Discernment incarnate


They rejected their Savior

But the hope lives on

They have defiled God

But the hope lives on

But hope lives on


"I've come not to bring peace,"

He says courageously,

"I've come to bring a sword."

Double-edged

Through flesh and blood

Bone and marrow

Extremities, members


Illuminate, transfigure

The spear that pierced Him

The nails in His wrists

The crown of thorns

They tell a story

Of pain and suffering

A story of resurrection, recompense, and glory

And of resolution

In eternity
