Pater, Rex, et Salvator!

What splendor! What glory!
A deity of such magnitude
Creator of the universe
How You could create us
In Your image
We turned away from you
Rejected, scorned, betrayed
You still loved us enough,
Enought to rescue us
You became Father to us all

Our sins were many
We could not escape them
We were without hope
Vestiges of Your words
Stained the vain hypocrites-
Power hungry mongrels of the religion
But instead of destroying the First Law
You came and fulfilled it, with Love and Compassion
You gave us what we needed,
Not what we wanted
As You hung on the Cross
Few of us knew the significance
Yet Death could not keep You
And three days later You rose, resurrected
You became King, the conqueror of death!

Now that the veil was torn
You're presence no longer confined,
Defined by the curtains of a tent
Upon Ascension, You didn't abandon us
But gave us another, The Helper
Your Spirit now dwells within us
Living temples of the Resurrection Life
No longer do we walk in darkness
Nor do we follow a far off distant light
The Light shines from within us
Our sins are forgotten
Your Spirit calls us out of the past
Into Marvelous Light!
You are Savior!

Semper te laudabo,
De Facto
