And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross. Philippians 2:8 Berean Study Bible
Death approached the throne in silence
As he entered the presence of God
Uncomfortable worship was all around
His time to speak began with a nod
He pointed a finger at the Prince
And spoke deliberate and slow
I will hold nothing back against you
When you decide to go
Earth is my dominion
All lives will end the same
Fear of me is intensely real
All lose when playing my game
I’ll pour out my darkest clouds
No cheating to help you cope
Upon you the weight of utter despair
I leave no room for hope
Follow the rules you must
Your divinity comes not into play
You will die like all the others
My words will have the final say
I will not loosen my grip
Pain and fear all the way
Your last breath is my to hold
In the ground you will stay
Now humble yourself before me
You’ve decided not to cheat
No man escapes my horror
You must also lay at my feet
The Prince spoke his mind
The Word had one thing to say
He turned and faced the Father
Not My will, I choose Your Way
Death was pleased and showed a grin
As he exited the throne of grace
This time I know we will win.
When the Word enters into my space.
The Father spoke after Death had left
While watching, I will not stop their plan
At the cross shame and death await
Your flesh cries out, when you become a man
There is more to this story
That is waiting to unfold
I will receive all the glory
When the final act is told
To the grave you must go
Your body will see no decay
For In 3 days you will arise
My words will have the final say
Grave will lose its victory
Death gives up its sting
Under your feet, Jesus
Prince of Peace and King of Kings
