The Coming of the Messiah
2004
The preacher came to church to say
"Friends, the Messiah wil come today.
I dreamed I saw Him surrounded with light
Clothed with justice, glory and might."
"My friends, he died for all our sins
He bears the scars upon his skin
All we like sheep have gone astray
Yet he will save our souls today.
The congregation all exclaimed,
"Come let us go to praise His name."
So they went to the mountain top
Their every earthly care forgot.
They strained their gazes toward the sky
To see that miracle on high
While far below them on the sea
A great Whale surfaced and broke free.
The water splashed around Her bright
Like angels dancing in their flight
Her skin was pierced by harpoon scars
and yet Her countenance shone like stars
Her voice arose in keening song
"I suffered, children, for your wrongs
Yet though you've sinned against all that's living
Repent and you shall be forgiven."
