to fulfill what was foretold

The truth is he was raised
he came to be a martyr
to spill innocent blood
to fulfill what was foretold
He was raised for this
for this very hour
the time of God’s choosing
when Christ would lay his life down
but always his choice
to become the sacrifice
though fully human
submitting himself to God
