He waited there…
In the tomb
He…was His only Light
His trip to hell had been successful
the keys were now in His possession
He Had won…the fight!
No longer would the faithful dead
be denied their entrance into Beulah Land...
the Gates were open...! their path to tread
Now, near completing His Father’s will
He knew His scant follower’s thoughts…
doubtful thoughts…that only He could still
And, as He waited there…
In the silence
He was aware of...all...
John’s ever faithful attend...
to His mother
as her tears did fall
He saw Peter’s shame and weeping
Then there was Judas'… unrepentant end
Also, His disciples…fearfully keeping
He saw Mary sadly counting the hours
when she’d return to the tomb
then finding Him alive…her joyous shower
He waited there…
for the messenger from His Father
who would arrive…not for His sake
But to give the soldiers
something to tell
when they woke from their quake
He removed His shroud and lay it neatly aside
the moment… was almost upon Him…soon…soon
Love's Triumphant Might would abide...
Flooding the earth throughout centuries…
His Entire Purpose…would be revealed
He’d come forth…ALIVE...all the world to see!
But The Son did obediently revere…
His Father's Will…birth to death
Thus, He contained ...His Glare
For, Victory belonged to…Triune…Clear
As Three, Was One; God, Son and Spirit
And…He waited there
