E – STAR

the grave
slept out
a fright day
of an E – star,
an enormous star;

and awoke
a song day
of our E – star
in lips of praise,
of an empty space;

and we
mourned; hey!
our E – star
and us mourned,
sweet of dance,
dine and wine,
spirits high,

our sins’ death
on calvary’s cross;
satan’s sore wrath
of an eternal loss.

we mourned in songs,
sweet in a belly
of a happy galilee,
gallivanting grandly,
our E -star’s rise
of us so mightily.

we mourned; hey!
we mourned so joyfully.

  EARTH

there is a pain that loves you;
there is an anguish that wants you;
there are tears running everywhere
flowing you as his beloved, his dear
soul; won’t you come accepting him?

you live, you breathe in a joy
that strongly hates you much;
you enjoy his life galore,
a sweetness of hidden wrath;
the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes,
the pride of life;
he gives you more and more
so you can forget that seeking voice.

he says sin is no poison;
he says live as you want, like;
he says you will still make heaven
without the one, Jesus Christ;
he makes you forget the pain,
on Calvary’s cross, so great;
fades away the supreme price
that for you, was heavily paid.

yet, this pain still cries out to you,
though he’s alive evermore;
this anguish is crying, begging
“don’t be lost eternal more”;
come to me,
come receive me;
i am the only truth of life;
he has lies and death to give,
i am life; the only truth you’ll find.

he’s come again this easter;
he’s come again looking for you;
he brings his battered body,
he brings his deepest pain,
he brings the river of blood
shed much for your salvation.

come to him;
come receive him;
forsake hatred’s deception,
accept love’s  redemption;
easter cries out loud to you:
” come, he’s waiting for you.”
