The light that lights the world we call the Sun:
Intelligently operates the pun.
The Sun of righteousness no shadow hath:
His circuit through the dark's a narrow path.
Within the shining Sun no darkness dwells:
So too the Son, the Word the reader tells.
How painful it would be by going through
The Sun to die, and through the Son so too.
The light of all the world, the Sun is dim
Compared to the light that comes from Him.

Life is short
And time is borrowed;
*“If freed today,
I’ll preach tomorrow”*
...spoken from
His prison cell,
The faithful one
Who conquered hell
When kings and men
Put him to flight
He stood his ground
Without a fight
And gladly took
To shackles – chains –
To prove to all
His Faith remained
---
Life is short
And time is borrowed;
*“If freed today,
I’ll preach tomorrow”*
See, he had been a
Prisoner, freed,
From far more
Fearful enemies
The first of which
Was his own flesh:
A death which died
Its death in Death
The Death of the
Triumphant King –
The Holy One –
The King of kings!
---
The One who
Traded life for Life –
Who gave it all
And took the knife…
…that he would sing
Without a sorrow:
*“If freed today,
I’ll preach tomorrow!”*
