Payment

By Gerald S. Sumeracki

Creation with its will of self
Rebelled against its cause
Thus cast us all into the dark
No more with Light that was.

But in His vast pure love of all
Salvation was to be
He'd send the One, a way of Life
We'd place upon a tree.

We'd hang Him high in fearless pride
So blind to all that's right
This One of God who'd pay our price
Did win Salvation's fight.

For all who will accept His Way
And seek the distant goals
Will realize with blinding light
The way to save their souls.
