remembering...

With every second, Jesus swallows more of mankind's sin.
Every disobedient deed, every lustful stare, every evil longing
Every act of hatred, every transgression ever perpetrated and
Every sin yet to be committed
Flows like poison into his very soul
sip after sickening sip
until he drains the dregs of the cup
In this drinking, the depravity of sin encompasses Christ

He who has never known sin becomes sin
Darness oozes in and around him and clutches at his soul
its tentacles dragging him down into the swirling waters of Satan's domain

The light of the world is extinguished on a hill called Calvary
Men who love darkness rather than light demand a sign,
and God gives them a sky that matches the blackness of their own hearts.
No greater horror has ever existed in the history of the world than this day when
darkness fell upon the land.
