That fateful day, It slipperily slunk,
The shrewd and crafty Beast
And with Its slithery tongue It struck
Two hearts, and hell released
A fateful day! A fateful dint!
…The Fall of the Beloved
But then and there One gave the hint
Of rescue from Above
---
That fateful day the Beast would bite
The heel of The Great King
But He, in turn, would crush Its head –
Death’s prisoners would sing:
“The fateful Day eternity told,
Foreknown before the world!
The Lion came, brave and bold –
The Lamb slain from of old!”
---
And so, that fateful day was but
A part in the Grand Scheme
One fateful Day He’d come indeed
To ransom and redeem
That fateful Day upon a cross
He breathed His final breath:
“It is finished!” was His cry;
The death of death in death.
