By Ben Swift

You’ve always been there

You watched the pendulum of time unwind

Before the bells could sing their chime

Man’s Christ bearing image forged within your mind

A revelation intimately signed

Creation’s gift of breath and beauty intertwined

But breaking your heart, man’s sin denied

The true place of man and of God only divine

Yet in grace, Father, Son and Spirit cried

Let our perfect love shine its’ saving light

In Christ man can truly be justified

As Satan’s skull is crushed forever from life

Sadness and the tears of man will be wiped from their eyes

Now eternally loved and sanctified

In the heavenly dimensions of God his sheep will reside

In fields of gold, beholding the Tree of Life.
