In this life a vision of divine beauty
Is faintly seen through array of mirrors
The mystery of love that goes beyond duty
Once entered the realm of wrongs and errors
Where blind eyes ached to open for new hope
To behold the beggar in the purified white robe
Made from the elusive fabric of time
Eternal Word's echo resonated in creation
Sounding the divine poet's perfect rhyme
That unfolded the meaning of revelation
Still it is held in the Creator's hand
The glass of being touched by time's sand
The purpose once shrouded in mystery
Revealed its secret in sacred writing
Glimpse to the great scroll of history
Gave a moment of hope amidst the fighting
A revelation of promised Prince of Peace
Saw the substance of promises made complete
In the great compression of time
Every moment wrapped around the cross
All eternity became self-confined
As humanity was purified of sin's dross
In the forge for New Adamic alloy
Whose perfection no rust can destroy
The touch of time can finally heal
The fateful bite the serpent brought
Its destruction under the pierced heel
Brought the salvation our hearts sought
Now lifted up with him who took our fall
We proclaim Christ's reign over all
Is faintly seen through array of mirrors
The mystery of love that goes beyond duty
Once entered the realm of wrongs and errors
Where blind eyes ached to open for new hope
To behold the beggar in the purified white robe
Made from the elusive fabric of time
Eternal Word's echo resonated in creation
Sounding the divine poet's perfect rhyme
That unfolded the meaning of revelation
Still it is held in the Creator's hand
The glass of being touched by time's sand
The purpose once shrouded in mystery
Revealed its secret in sacred writing
Glimpse to the great scroll of history
Gave a moment of hope amidst the fighting
A revelation of promised Prince of Peace
Saw the substance of promises made complete
In the great compression of time
Every moment wrapped around the cross
All eternity became self-confined
As humanity was purified of sin's dross
In the forge for New Adamic alloy
Whose perfection no rust can destroy
The touch of time can finally heal
The fateful bite the serpent brought
Its destruction under the pierced heel
Brought the salvation our hearts sought
Now lifted up with him who took our fall
We proclaim Christ's reign over all
