RISEN TO REIGN



Born to bear the brunt of all generations,
even the stars attested to His Royalty.
A mission targeted on universal reconciliations;
with His light outshining darkness and cruelty.
He was fully   grown   into   wisdom and fame;
though hated by His folks without a genuine cause.
Plot and conspiracy became inevitable to put Him to shame;
None withstanding, with love in His heart, He charted a new course;
by graciously offering peace and joy to the world.
He willingly accepted the ugly death of a criminal;
imagine a  King allowing slaves to hurt Him with rod,
to the point He traded His glory with lethal and brutal arsenal.
Even the Hades has never received such a great Guest;
all that,  was to restore man from his fallen state.
At last Death and Hell gave up on Him due to the conquest;
since Grace alone has let Him loose, till this date.
Finally He is risen to reign above all powers;
never again will Death and Hell take preponderance.
Songs of praises sounding from all mountain towers;
all to honor the King seated on the throne of Grace.
