Christ down from heaven
the Paschal lamb, the
altar to God
the rugged cross, the stone-cold
tomb
becoming our human
sacrifice
what tears there must
have been in heaven
God on trial, accused of
blasphemy
God on the cross, our
atoning sacrifice
our sins upon him, giving
himself
to redeem the lost, the
least
sinners while yet sinning
the one final human
sacrifice
this choice of the Christ
dying, rising from the cold
tomb
to raise the dead, to
give us life
