Triumph Day

Triumph Day

Nathaniel Allen

unknown/2017-5/24/2019

“And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!” So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭15:29-32‬a ‭ESV‬‬

As darkness fell

The earth was shaking

While Jesus cried

The veil was breaking

The Son of God

Was torn apart

Upon a cross

He bore my scars

This hopeless race

He came to save

Would now deliver him

To his grave

The Devil shouted

Of Triumph Day

And all assumed

He had his way

As dawn arose

The tomb was empty

The stone had rolled

Past fallen sentries

As Jesus woke

He took a breath

He held the keys

To sin and death

This hopeless race

He died to save

Could never hold him

In his grave

The Devil’s shouts

Of Triumph Day

Were all thrown into

Disarray

He shall return

In blinding light

And all the world

Will come alive

The Lord of all

Shall claim his bride

And Satan will

Have been denied

Oh hear it church 

The trumpet’s call

The sound to bring

The end of all

Bowed in worship

Or gone astray

Where will we stand

On triumph day
