The Day The Devil Lost

The Devil tried his level best The day that Jesus died, But even he was so hard pressed, Temptations every side... The multitude had swayed like corn From love to fear then hate, To see Lord Jesus so forlorn, As if no longer great... The evidence against Him stood, Yet witnesses were mixed, But finally they did no good, As if their words were fixed... When Pilate met the beaten Lord He saw no victory, Nor was the crowd as overawed... Barabbas was set free... The Devil then had no way out Unless Christ wavered now, Yet Jesus walked beyond their doubt, His crown upon His brow... The Cross was now His sacrifice, Would Jesus die or not? Would Jesus falter and think twice Or just submit to God? The hours left yet Jesus stayed, No angels to appear, No rescue bid as Christ obeyed Till death was oh so near... His Blood fell down upon the Earth As Jesus paid sins' cost, The day the Saviour proved His worth... The day the Devil lost... Denis Martindale, copyright, August 2012.
