TRIUMPH OF THE CROSS

Upon the cross,
Your blood flowed
From Crown to Foot,
In streams upon Your Body,
So that there was not one space
That was not touched by Your Blood.

Your Promise,
“The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Your Body,
Your Blood,
Your Death upon the Cross.

Upon the Cross of Christ,
Death defeated,
Evil layed waste,
Forgiveness and Redemption.
Good out of evil.

Your Body, the Church,
Covered in Your Blood,
Saved throughout Time
And for all Time
Unto Eternity,
Covered by Your Blood.
