The Light stood among them,
offering them salvation,
But they chose the darkness
believing the lies of the flesh...
 
God stood with them,
the long-prayed-for Messiah;
Christ spoke plainly,
proclaiming who He is...
 
They believed the stories
judgment ripe within them...
They rejected Christ Jesus
standing in their midst...
 
They chose the darkness
denying the Messiah,
They saw Love as blasphemy,
leading to the cross...
