the sun stopped shining

The world became dark
the sun stopped shining
Christ breathed his last
entering your kingdom

The curtain of the Temple
torn by great force
no need for sacrifice
the debt fully paid

Returning to the Father
to him his spirit given
safety in his father’s arms
in the highest heaven
