HEAVEN'S GATE
God's thunder struck in Calvary,
the temple curtain, divine concealed,
in no uncertain terms revealed.
the baying crowd, for blood did lust,
and flayed that shroud, redemption's must,
and fated heavens wings to seal,
the sins of flesh, by faith's repeal.
by hate, whose reins held tight by man,
bound in chains, stripped, whipped, and hanged,
a yoke to choke, astride a tree,
the criminals numbered more than three!
and from that lucifer addiction,
came blood lust, wrapped in crucifixion,
but faith from joy, gave hopes election,
and saved us all by resurrection.
the love of humankind, by purple gowned,
his mercies blind, by hatred crowned,
the King Of Jews, in mocking toy,
to bring to man, redemption's ploy.
from human loathing, and hatreds gain,
the love of loves by man was slain,
the tree of life, in heaven planted,
by love, has now on earth been granted,
by grace of faith, by truth now shone,
our place, to heaven bound, we long,
by mankind's lust and murderous hate,
God has, to us, opened heaven's gate.
