Jesus Poem by Gert Strydom

When in an act of satanic might
the earth was plunged in to eternal night
and the Lord of the universe was crucified
to the demonic delight

then as sin separated God and His Son
and the demons carried their evil work on
Jesus did the ultimate sacrifice make
and His salvation for mankind was done

and on a Sunday morning
the brilliant light of an angel the eyes did sting
when the Lord of Lords and eternal king
from death's tomb was arising
and through the universe all living beings
and angels did sing
of the perfect love
that nothing can remove,
of God who became mortal man
and with each morning's red glow
the entire universe does know
that daily God does His love and kindness bestow.
