Light of The World

The veil drawn
darkness smothers the sun
one perfect flesh
suffers alone
in deathly silence
for man's seething mass of
corruption
torments of hell
for a lost world
uttered cries of woe
Eli Eli lama sabachthani
a ransom for all
redeemed by the
blood of Christ

still...

the veil torn
at Calvary
hangs opaque
in the hearts of many
laced in self
by threads woven
of earthly desires
broken communion
lost in darkness

arise
oh troubled soul
sing
with one voice

Jesus is the Light of the World
