The Ancient Story Act V The Son of the Great King

Send us Fan MailWords and Voice: Jon SwalesMusic: Chris Sayburn 'Father' and ' Waves'Long ago,Many years before the beast of unrestrained capitalism roamed the land,The Great King,Remembered his sacred oath,And sent his Son,To proclaim and enact the Kingdom.To embark on a great mission of reconciliation and restoration.The long night was over,And the tender compassion of the King was made manifest,The image of the eternalEnfleshed,JesusTo him be all praise and glory.In him,The broken became beautiful  the rebellious gloriousthe cursed blessed As homesick exiles, East of Eden,  found their rest in him.For in himThe blind see, The lame walk,The demons tremble.As the rule and reign of the great King is embodied and enactedYet,Empires of Evil,Powers and the Principalities,Deceived by lies and the lust for power,Crucified the Eternal Son,And he lay silent in the grave.Will injustice triumph?Will death have the last word?Hours  went by.All seemed silentWill the Great King remember his sacred promise? Days went by,All seemed silent,Will the Great King King move with compassion?And love spoke into the darknessAnd there was light.  And life came into being. And the Great King Raised his Son to Life.And so many years later, Here we live and move and have our being. As covenant partners of the great King,We have pledegd our allegiance to his SonAnd we, living in the Anthropocene, Must improvise on the basis of our ancient story.These are indeed strange and difficult days,But love winsHope winsTo him be all praise and glory.
