The Big Fall
He forges swords in anger
His mission to destroy
His soul is dark oh! How he hates
that God exposed his pride and sin,
for all celestial splendor
was stripped, his wrong exposed.
Once anointed cherub adorned with special beauty
The model of perfection.
Music was a special gift you had,
but pride brought bad desires
To raise your throne above the stars of God.
And exalt your place in Heaven.
Oh! Foolish special angel
with music in your being
To think you could surpass your Maker
Yes, pride comes before the fall its true
inciting other angels too.
Cast down to earth in shame you fell
Your cohorts came with you
Disgraced and shamed you fell to earth
your shame revealed, exposed.
So, forging swords to seek revenge
You steal and lie and kill
Captain of black darkness
The swords are hurled in greatest rage
ripping people's lives apart.
Once peaceful men
now turn their love to hatred
crime and murder you incite
and mankind is your prey,
destroyed for lack of Knowledge.
Make haste oh Lord and bind the serpent
we earnestly implore
For righteous souls know this full well
his time is running out
while waiting, Lord we use Your Word
and fight him down below
but still within our hearts we say
oh Come! Lord Jesus, Come
