In His Time
His star shone bright for all to see
The world in bonds He would set free
In His time the Romans ruled
A rod of iron and deeds so cruel
From Eden’s tree the serpent came
Tempting Him to call his name
But He had come to see his end
And from his fate to save all men
His fame had spread so far and wide
Faithful men stood by His side
But from the flames came men of shame
And with their lips they cursed His name
And so these men pierced His skin
And caused His fame to fall again
Then on God’s altar, a dying son
Alone, He knew His work was done
