He Is Risen! Poem by Denis Martindale

According to the Scriptures known... there was a time of peace,
When power struggles had not grown... first battles to release...
And Heaven had not demons there... and angels served the Lord...
But Eden forced them to compare... what could not be ignored...
For Adam had a mate in Eve... and children God could bless...
Some angels found a cause to grieve... a missed-out happiness...
And Hell broke loose and angels fought... until there was no doubt,
Such that God with a single thought... condemned them... cast them out...
Then Adam and his given wife... were tricked to disobey...
Eventually, each lost their life... that was God's Judgement Day...

And we... in them... of them... die, too... that is our lot on Earth...
God's destiny for me, for you... regardless of our worth...
Great men have died... with no escape... yet Lazarus was raised...
And from that moment, faith took shape... and Jesus Christ was praised...
Though the Lord of Resurrection... God's Son was crucified...
But the Father made correction... Christ lived after He died...
You see, this is the Holy War... against both sin and death...
And that is why we should adore... Jesus of Nazareth...
The Saviour lives to save Mankind... our sins can be washed clean...
The Saviour loves lost souls to find... so mercy can be seen...

Till Jesus comes, the war goes on... till every war is done,
Till sin and death are truly gone... through Jesus Christ, God's Son...
