The Day the Earth Stood Still

The earth stood still,
shadows of evil reveal,
man's plight from Eden's garden,
caused the earth to stand still.

Man's heart waxed cold,
on days of old,
guilty with shame,
man's heart to blame.

Blackened sun,
moon blood red,
the earth shook with fury,
her creator now dead.

The death of Christ,
for onlookers too see,
what nailed the Christ to the rugged tree?
It was the love of Jesus Christ for you and for me.
