Cockcrow Releases New Story

Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
Lamentations 3:23 NLT

Because of God’s tender mercy,
the morning light from heaven
is about to break upon us…
Luke 1:78 NLT

Cockcrow Releases New Story

A baby is born, in the East,
As angels take notice, and beast.
Fates are there in preparatory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

Hell in disbelief sends fury,
Bethlehem’s children to bury.
Sin’s release of inventory,
Cockcrow releases new story.

Gathers Pharisees, Sadducees
To question, impose their decrees.
The blind are accusatory,
Cockcrow releases new story,

At every turn making points.
Then, Christ’s friend, Judas, disappoints.
Thorns, cat of nine tails, cross - gory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

It’s a shame, the funny thing is,
This sacrifice is the Son’s biz,
Redemption’s exculpatory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

Three days in the grave, the tears rage,
Like lion’s den and oven cage.
The kick anticipatory -
Cockcrow releases new story.

The angel bright on ebon rock.
Entire world would be in shock.
Risen life, celebratory -
Cockcrow releases new story.

It would be written, good news -
Believe or disbelieve, you choose.
Sweet breath of heav’n auditory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

At new home’s gate, what lies in store -
Treasures of pearl and gold and more.
Still my heart, the Savior’s glory.
Cockcrow releases new story.
