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.
