Atonement

From the very first day
The one after the seventh
Actually, the one before the first
YOU became The Offering
The Only ONE I can’t refuse

With a dash and a sprinkle and a plunge
Pouring out New Life in a world undone
Tracing the lines of its blueprint
With YOUR Hands marking holes
That would remind YOU of me
And the Greater Love YOU have in Mind

Though Love takes center stage within
Atonement is a very peculiar cleansing
A bloody mess at Best
One involving thousands of stenched years
Ages of scars and repeated offenses 
A process that only YOUR BLOOD could Take
Herein lies the Beauty

A Plan
Where FATHER knows Best
Forging a mission unprecedented 
One so Powerful that Angels weep
And Living Creatures sing
For joy and sorrow
For SON and souls
Marking millenia to unfold

Where points and landmarks
All wearing animals skin that covered
Meet Ark, and Moriah
And the greatest feat yet
When the gods of Egypt quaked
Still recovering to this day

There the world was reminded
That with only ONE Finger
YOU could bring to an end
Every molecule of existence
Every atom erased in an instant
And begin again

Still YOU Chose The Way of The FATHER
And carried on as planned
Introducing an in-depth plot
Revealing the True process of Reconciliation
Where first the Tabernacle Of Tents would maintain
The cleansing blood of a lamb, without spot or blemish
On One Day ~ With One Chance
Only One!

In exchange came the Temple
Of great extravagance and rapport
Still YOU waited for a body
Culminating the mission at hand
And time moved as it should
Temple crumbled, built again, and crumbled
In the meantime, YOU toted Tome and Truth 
Fighting through prince and Persia
Delivering them to a man wiser than satan
And meeker than the morns

Seventy weeks were determined
That’s Four Hundred Ninety Years
Seven planned for YOU
But Three and a half would have to do
Then YOU were granted a body
One prepared for YOU 
One shown to many in the realm of The SPIRIT
The meat of the mission at play
Bringing KINGDOM Government on YOUR Shoulder

Choosing The Way of the FATHER
YOU became The WAY to The FATHER
And mankind is granted a Living HOPE
YESHUA The HOPE of SALVATION
And GLORY ~ And HONOR ~ And WISDOM ~ And POWER

With YOUR Feet YOU walked tirelessly
Sailing lakes ~ raging and calm
Giving treasures to those who believe
Pieces of YOUR nature left to the ones who love YOU

Through SPIRIT and BLOOD
YOU purposed the world to see and know
What took place long ago
On that day before the first
On a tree who’s leaves could never cover
YOU offered The Greatest Atonement 
For all the others to follow

Through SPIRIT and BLOOD
With All Power in YOUR Hands
YOU open The BOOKS 
Sealed in The Way of The FATHER
And take YOUR place in Heaven’s Temple

There YOU are today
Reading my Rights and Acts 
Making me One with The FATHER
Cleansing me with YOUR BLOOD
My One chance ~ should I desire
That is ~ The Way of The FATHER
A chance that no sooner can be taken away
The day when YOUR BLOOD dries

YOU’LL leave The Temple forever
With Sword in Mouth, and Wrath in Hand
To Cleanse this world with Fire
And Serve me at YOUR Table
In the Body YOU’VE Prepared for me
In the place where True Healing begins
And remains Eternally

Still
No one knows the day or hour
Not even YOU, I’ve read
So One Chance is all I have
And I’m taking it as though it were my last

I receive YOUR Atonement
From the very first day
The one after the seventh
And the one before the first
YOU are The Offering
The Only ONE I can’t refuse
