Reversals

Cries of the dying God
Last words of the Word
The Lord of creation
For creation given up
Temple curtain torn
Gates of Heaven opened
Blood and water spilled upon the ground
Bread of Heaven upon the cross now broken
Fulfillment of the final feast
Remembrance of the feet that once were washed
Feet that now from Him fled
The little band discouraged and afraid
Knowing nothing of the coming fire
That the cross where He was hanging
Became the kindling which would start the blaze
And bring the fire of Heaven upon the souls of men
And backwards work the curse of Babel
And that Death itself would die
Through the Second Adam's death
And knowing not that upon this mount
God's new law would be writ
Upon the hearts of men!
