The Journey to Hell and Back

Before Boötes’ bright Arcturus birth or ere from abyss sprung the earth a trip which celestial chasms spanned in heaven’s hallowed halls was planned. God’s Beloved Son would leave His throne and come to earth as flesh and bone to live and dwell with mortal man and execute salvation’s plan. Assailed by all the hosts of hell, and those with whom he came to dwell. The trials of His life were sore as sin’s wet weight He bore. Despised and rejected by men He lived His life in Satan’s den. A cruel death sent Him to hell where clay feet go, since Adam fell. God did not leave His soul in hell Nor let his body rot and smell. The third day death freed his guest Christ rose with immortality dressed. His Vic ‘try over death bought man, salvation from sin’s evil plan. We can now choose to live or die The choices twain within us lie. And once Christ’s work on earth was done, God sent a host to get His Son. The angels brought him to His throne from earth’s dark spot to glory’s zone.
