Reborn On Calvary


In the darkness of day,
we, the tear baptismal ones 
were reborn

In the shadow of Calvary,
we, the gospel seed
was crucifixion conceived — 
A bereaved delivery

On that Golgotha noon night,
the Day Star died

And our mourning cries
had three days 
of cradle grave
Silent ultrasound whys

Adam and Eve paradise bliss
was umbilical ended by a tempting hiss
Astray questions asked amiss

Out of the dawn midnight despair,
we, the ewe confessional few
were born again

Out of the shadow of a rolled rock,
we, the gospel flock
was Resurrection led 
from the womb of doubt tick-tock

On that Garden of Gethsemane rebirth day,
the Morning Star revived
And cast all our sins in a bottomless grave

And that ere dark shadow o’er Calvary
passed away
In the blessed hour of SonLight reverie
