AMONGST GAINSAYERS

Amongst gainsayers,

Self-seekers, and those at enmity

With truth, He could

Be named the Amen.

While the world destroyed,

Sin damaged, Satan corroded,

This was the Man who

Devised noble things.

 

Before an earthly ruler

The Just One stood. Crowds 

Clamoured for injustice; He

Accomplished righteousness.

Three times Satan essayed

To sully that man by

Guile. Failing, he attempted

Violence. And failed again.

Amid a world of hatred,

Crucifying God's Man,

A few, attracted by Him,

Gathered around His cross.
