Mortification

Ancient Prophecy

Behold the ancient scripture brought forth a prophecy

Revealed in the testament of old for all mankind to see

The prophet Isaiah foretold long ago

the coming of a man who would heal their land

He assumed a servant’s nature

written in Isaiah 53

He grew in wisdom and stature

Healed many and set them free

Torment and pain gripped the land

Desperation of release grew strong

The prophet saw the time was near

Impending deliverance for which they longed

The prophet Isaiah foretold long ago

Bloodied crucifixion would bring forth redemption

Behold the prophecy revealed before you

Testifies of blood spilt from butchered arteries

Mangled beyond human likeness

Shredded meat hanging from his skeletal cage

This Blood spraying from a mass of twisted flesh

Brings forth redemption to partake you must receive

Do it now before you die or you'll pay the price

Make a step towards God or be destroyed

“Surely He hath borne our griefs, weakness and distress,

and carried our sorrows and pain

Yet we ignorantly considered Him stricken

Smitten by God and afflicted

But He was wounded for our transgressions

He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities

The chastisement needed

to obtain peace and well-being for us was upon Him,

and with the lashings and torment that butchered Him,

we are healed and made complete”

He assumed a servant’s nature

written in Isaiah 53

He grew in wisdom and stature

Healed many and set them free

Ancient writings formed on parchment

conceived beyond the realm of time

Fulfillment yet to be achieved

Time unfolds to reveal completion

The prophet Isaiah foretold long ago

Blood justification - Spiritual completion

This Blood spraying from a mass of twisted flesh

Brings forth redemption to partake you must receive

Do it now before you die or pay the price

Make a step toward God or be destroyed

[Isaiah 53:4-5]
