The Champion

In the vast expanse of a timeless place, Where silence ruled the outer space, Ominously, towering it stood, The symbol of a spirit war Between the one name Lucifer, And the Morning Star, The ultimate of good. Enveloped by a trillion planets, Clean as lightning and hard as granite, A cosmic coliseum would host the end Of the war between the lord of sin and death, And the Omnipotent Creator of man's first breath, Who will decide who forever will be the Champion. The audience for the 'Fight of the Ages' was a*sembled and in place. The angels came in splendor from a star. The saints that had gone before were there: Jeremiah, Enoch, Job. They were singing the song of Zion, on David's harp. The demons arrived, offensive and vile, cursing and blaspheming God Followed by their trophies dead and gone. Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh, Capone, Tormented and vexed and grieved Waiting for their judgment from the throne. Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd And the demons squealed with glee As a sorid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt. Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud Trolled by demons, Satan, ascended from Hell. Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned, the demons reeled in pain As a swell of power like silent thunder rolled with a surge of light beyond intense, illuminating the universe, in resplendent glory appeared the Son of God Then a persona, yes, extraordinaire appeared in center ring God the Father would oversee the duel. opening the Book of Life, each grandstand hushed in awe as majestically He said "now, here's the rules: you'll be wounded for their transgressions bruised for iniquities when He said "by His stripes they're healed", the devil shook. he screamed "sickness is my specialty. i hate that healing junk!" God said- "you shut your face, I wrote the book." Then the Father looked at his only Son and said "You know the rules, Your blood will cleanse their sin and calm their fears" Then He pointed His finger at Satan and said "and I know you know the rules. you've been twisting them to deceive my people for years." Satan cried, 'I'll kill you Christ, you'll never win this fight.' The deamons wheezed, 'Thats right, there ain't no way' Satan jeered, 'You're dead meat Jesus... I'm gonna bust you up tonight' Jesus said, "Go ahead, make my day" The bell, the crowd, the fight was on And the devil leaped in fury With all his evil tricks, he came undone He threw his jabs of hate and lust A stab of pride and envy But the hands that knew no sin blocked every one Forty days and nights they fought and Satan couldn't touch Him Now the final blow saved for the final round Prophetically, Christ's hands came down and Satan struck in vengence The blow of death fell Jesus to the ground The devils roared in victory The saint's shocked and perplexed As wounds appeared upon His hands and feet Then Satan kicked Him in His side and blood and water flowed And they waited for the ten count of defeat God the Father turned His head His tears announcing Christ was dead The ten count would proclaim the battles end Then Satan trembled through his sweat In unexpected horror, yet As God started the count by saying: "10" Hey...hey wait a minute God "9" Stop You're counting wrong! "8" His eyes are moving! "7" His fingers are twitching! "6" Where's all this light coming from? "5" He's alive! "4" Oh No! "3" (Carman) OH YES! "2" HE HAS "1" WON He has won He's alive forevermore He is risen He is Lord He has won He has won He is alive forever He is risen He is Lord Proclaim the news in every tongue Through endless ages and beyond Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong Captivity has been set free Salvation bought for you and me Cause Satan is defeated And Jesus Is The Champion!
