The Messiah

The prophets wrote about His day,
announced to all, He was the Way.

He healed the sick and helped the poor;
the Word in flesh became the door.

The Lord had come with saving grace
to pay for sins and take our place.

A cross was made to kill the Son,
Emmanuel, the Holy one.

The darkness came, the light was dim;
the wrath of God was laid on Him.

They gave the Lord a borrowed tomb;
disciples felt impending doom.

Three days and nights His life withdrawn;
the stone was moved, His body gone.

Messiah rose and broke the chains
to free the souls - and now He reigns.
