the lost



Deep in the earth, the cries are

heard, the echoes of pain, their

sorrows blurred.

High in the heavens, the word is

there, he took upon flesh, and

came with care.

About the kingdom, to spread the

news, dying for them, he paid all

dues.

Bondage was free, the earth was

saved, to be forgiven, trespasses

waived.
