The Champion |
| In the vast expanse of a timeless place, |
| Where silence ruled the outer space, |
| Ominously, towering it stood, |
| The symbol of a spirit war |
| Between the one named Lucifer, |
| And the Morning Star, |
| The ultimate of good. |
| Enveloped by a trillion planets, |
| Clean as lightning and hard as granite, |
| A cosmic coliseum would host the end |
| Of the war between the lord of sin and death, |
| And the Omnipotent Creator of man's first breath, |
| Who will decide who forever will be the Champion. |
| The audience for the 'Fight of the Ages' |
| was assembled and in place. |
| The angels came in ~s*p*l*e*n*d*o*r~ from a star. |
| The saints that had gone before were there: |
| Jeremiah, Enoch, Job. |
| They were singing the "Song of Zion" |
| on David's harp. |
| The demons arrived, offensive and vile, |
| cursing and blaspheming God. |
| Followed by their 'trophies' dead and gone. |
| Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh, Capone, |
| Tormented and vexed and grieved. |
| Waiting for their judgment |
| >From the Throne. |
| Then a {{{c~h~i~l~l~}}} swept through |
| the MAMMOTH crowd........ |
| and the demons ^squealed^ with glee, |
| as a sordid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt. |
| Arrogantly prancing, hands held \\high//, |
| draped in a s*p*a*r*k*l*i*n*g shroud........... |
| Trolled by demons, satan ascended from {{{HELL}}}. |
| Then satan [[cringed]], |
| the sinners g_r_o_a_n_e_d_! |
| The demons {{reeled}} in <pain>., |
| As a s~w~e~l~l of <<POWER>> |
| like silent ((THUNDER)) |
| . ..R O L L E D |
| With a surge of |
| {{{..LIGHT..}}} |
| beyond <<intense>>, |
| illuminating the universe, |
| in resplendent *~*GLORY*~* appeared |
| The Son of God. |
| Then a Persona, yes, E*x*t*r*a*ordinaire |
| appeared in center ring. |
| GOD the Father will oversee the duel. |
| Opening the Book of Life, |
| each grandstand hushed in awe |
| as MAJESTICALLY HE said, |
| "Now here's the rules. |
| He'll be wounded for their transgressions, |
| Bruised for iniquities.." |
| When HE said, |
| "By His stripes they're healed," |
| The devil ((s (( h (( o )) o )) k))! |
| He screamed, "Sickness is my specialty -- |
| I <<HATE>> that healing junk!" |
| GOD said, |
| "YOU SHUT YOUR FACE -- |
| I WROTE THE BOOK!" |
| Then the Father looked at His only Son and said, |
| "You know the rules. |
| Your b`l`o`o`d` will cleanse their sins |
| and calm their {{fears}}." |
| Then He pointed His finger at Satan and said, |
| "And I know you know the rules. |
| You've been t>w>i>s>t>i>n>g them to deceive My people for years." |
| Satan <<<<SCREAMED>>>>, |
| "I'll kill you -> Christ! |
| You'll \\never// win this fight!" |
| The demons wheezed, |
| "That's right, there ain't 'no way'." |
| Satan jeered, "You're dead meat, Jesus, |
| I'm gonna bust you U~P~ tonight!!" |
| Jesus said, |
| "GO AHEAD--MAKE MY DAY!" |
| The bell (((RANG))), the crowd CHEERED, |
| the fight was on, |
| And the devil L~E~A~P~E~D~ in <<FURY>>. |
| With all his EVIL tricks he came u~ d o~ e. |
| `n `n |
| He t.h.r.e.w. his j>a>b>s of hate and lust. |
| A stab of pride and envy |
| But the HANDS THAT KNEW NO SIN |
| [BLOCKED] EVERY ONE. |
| Forty days and nights they fought, |
| And Satan couldn't touch Him. |
| Now the final b~l~o~w~ |
| saved for the final round. |
| Prophetically Christ's hands came |
| d |
| o |
| w |
| n |
| And Satan [[[..struck..]]] in vengeance! |
| The b~l~o~w~of DEATH |
| felled JESUS to the ground. |
| The devils roared in victory! |
| The saints ~shocked~ and perplexed |
| as wounds appeared upon His hands and feet. |
| Then Satan k-]i-]c-]k-]e-]d-] Him in His side, |
| And Blood and w`a`t`e`r` F~L~O~W~E~D~. |
| And they waited for the 10 count-of-defeat. |
| God the Father turned His head, |
| His t`e`a`r`s` announcing |
| Christ was DEAD! |
| The 10 count would proclaim the battle's end. |
| Then Satan (((trembled))) through his s`w`e`a`t` |
| in unexpected {{{HORROR}}}, yet... |
| As GOD started to count by saying, |
| "...10..." |
| "Hey wait a minute, God..." |
| "...9..." |
| "Stop! You're counting wrong..." |
| "...8..." |
| His eyes are moving... |
| "...7..." |
| His fingers are t^w`i*t~c^h`i*n~g^... |
| "...6..." |
| "Where's all this \\_Light_// coming from?" |
| "...5..." |
| "He's ALIVE!!!" |
| "...4..." |
| "Oh - NOOOOO!......." |
| "...3..." |
| "And yet," |
| "...2..." |
| "Oh...YESSSSSS!! |
| "...1..." |
| HE HAS WON!!!! |
| HE HAS WON!!!! |
| HE'S ALIVE FOREVERMORE! |
| HE IS RISEN, HE IS LORD, |
| HE HAS WON! |
| HE HAS WON!! |
| HE'S ALIVE FOREVERMORE, |
| HE IS RISEN! |
| HE IS LORD!! |
| Proclaim the news in every tongue, |
| Through endless ages and beyond. |
| Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong. |
| Captivity has been set free, salvation bought for you and me. |
| 'Cause Satan is - DEFEATED, |
And
JESUS is |
THE |
CHAMPION! |
