Take It Back

The sky reopens, and Jesus descends
Tears travel back up the cheeks of His friends
Comfort in what He spoke
Caused many to say "Lord again us leave don't"
He then backtracked on His marvelous route
He concealed His hands, Thomas started to doubt
He took back the evangelistic passion when
He inhaled the Holy Spirit back in Him
He passed women who relaxed with Him, soon
He walked back first right back in the tomb
He laid down and the stone rolled shut
The Roman guards rose up, all was quiet
Three days earlier, pale mask from the loss
Of blood, carried out, nailed back to the cross
The spear in His side is thrown back
Scorn hailed, the torn veil is sewn back

He slips back into consciousness
You can hear Him scream from the balcony where Pontius is
His second to last cry passed by
He said "me forsaken you have why"
Then the clouds rolled back for the sunshine
Pay attention as I let the track unwind
The feeling returned that caused Him to tremble
He was de-nailed and the cross disassembled
Judas took his neck out the rope, on the flip side
Peter said "you deny never will I"
His miraculous acts were turned quick
Those with sight went blind, healed turned sick
The disciples went back to their boats
Rewind thirty years now absent of hope
An empty manger, the wise men's sign is
Removed, nothing remains but silence

In a place full of wonder and bliss
The land was abundantly rich, it was day number 6
The spectators anticipation was clear
The most important day of creation was here--Enter Adam
Made from the dust means
Wasn't one thing unclean in his bloodstream
Morally perfect; the image he was made in
Unaware of a certain imminent invasion
Yes, these events progressed with expedience
A forbidden tree was a test of obedience
Not a clue what his sin would accumulate
He stood in a place representing the human race
To experience grace within
You must stare in the face of sin
Guilt reigns from the civilized to the small tribe
It attacks from all sides cause in Adam, all die
