Victory Poem W/poll Yes, I know this is no post count :P

[Joshua 0]

Earth is a testing ground between two planes,

Fallen world of people's pain

Hopeless world of darkened rain

Could this race of life be won?

Righteous here? They number none

Life a lie of liar's puns?

Life and victory comes

 

Conqueror ever undefeated

Thinks Death and Hell can yet be cheated

Love and justice meet unheeded

In Him we're all completed

He's everything we needed

Comes a'bringing life's new leases

Name of glory, name of Jesus

 

He who fashioned us in love

Is it He who's from above?

Can risen dead be proof enough

For He who's signaled by a dove?

Faultless love and guiltless life

Can we so full of sin and vice

Attain this wondrous sacrifice?

 

Our precious earth attacked and raided

Heaven's majesty's invaded

Man's redemption oh so fated

Creation's King for whom it's waited

Creator stands with His created

Such mercy flowing unabated

Why, oh men, is He so hated?

 

So vile as is, oh cruel mankind

Impossible to be so blind

You can't imagine such a crime!

Do you know you're crossing such a line?

Who is dying? Who you're crucifying?

Of whom your wicked lips are lying?

For who His loving eyes are crying?

 

Satan, now you've had your way

How you've waited for this day

Almighty God, who all so dread

Precious drops for mankind shed

Purest mercy's teardrops bled

In your power, at this hour

Counted here among your dead

 

Have you waited for so long

Just to let your enemy escape?

Surely He can't be so strong

That even death could break

But of course you can't be wrong

Death and earth to you belong

Oh vain prince, thy great mistake

 

Prince of Peace, the King of Heaven

Ascending back where He belongs

From the trials of death and men

Bearing records of His wrongs

Oh such victory in His voice!

Bow the knee, and hear Him tell

"I Have The Keys Of Death, And Hell"

 

Risen King, oh Risen Lord

Thou eternal saving Word

Thou our Master and our God

Dare we tread as thou hast trod?

Send us forth to tell the story

Of your love and of your glory

And faith in you means "do not worry"

 

Hallelujah, sins so cleansed!

Empty hearts He fully mends!

Full forgiveness fully paid

Trust just in Him, this saving faith

Full atonement, what a trade!

Life before is just a wraith

New and whole the me He's made

 

Life so full and bought by Him

Now I can't lose, but only win

Sorrows turned to joys

Losses turned to gains

To ever lift my voice

Freed from all my chains

Complete within, He'll come again

 

Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
