Pain.
Confusion.
I don't know what's going on.
Why Jesus? Why Him?
He's done nothing.
Agony.
Defeat.
I can't watch.
Christ crucified.
My Christ? Crucified?
Thunder. Earthquake.
"It is finished!"
Last words?
Despair.
Despair.
Despair.
This is the end?
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Empty? But how?
Stolen?
Or...
Could it be?
Is there more?
Light!
Victory?
Life!
This is not the end?
He is... alive?
He is alive!


He is alive.
Death is conquered.
Death, but not pain.
I still don't understand.
Victory?
When?
Not now.
Such evil.
It grows every day.
And yet...
Hope.
Hope.
Hope.
I may never understand,
But I know
My Redeemer lives!
The end?
Not yet.
But I know the ending.
So I wait.
Wait.
Wait.
For the final Victory
He has conquered all
In His timing,
Not mine.
So I wait
And hope
For the ultimate victory
In Christ my Savior.
