Dichotomy of the Cross
					
					 
					
					On He, the Light, a 
					darkness fell and there a great despair
					
					The world went dark 
					and it was night as our Lord was hanging there
					
					The Water cries, He 
					cries “I thirst” from dry lips of Adonnoi
					
					‘Twas as if the Oceans 
					of the earth have somehow now gone dry
					
					The Shepherd King of 
					glory now the sacrificial Lamb 
					
					The God of all the 
					universe falls into the hands of man
					
					Though He was sinless 
					and knew no sin became now sin for us
					
					Though He was rich yet 
					for us poor, for the unjust One who’s Just
					
					He who was Life, and 
					Life itself, tasted death for every man
					
					And became the seed 
					that we most need to fulfill salvation’s plan
					
					The Creator as a 
					criminal, the Gain is counted loss
					
					Eternal reduced to 
					minimal, God’s Christ upon the Cross
