HE SHOOK THE
GROUND.
Upon a cross outside a city,
The site portrayed
No love or pity.
A broken hearted mother
crying,
In anguish watched
Her son there dying.
Her mind was to the crib cast
back,
Where gifts around
The babe were packed.
To worship there a newborn
king,
A lowly stable
Set the scene.
The joyful sight of baby
Jesus,
Before the cross
Was somewhat grievous.
To see her child now hanging
lifeless,
A victim seemed
Of Satan’s vices.
Thereafter Satan he was
shocked,
When Hades walls
Around him rocked.
That tombstone demons could
not hold it,
When God he shook
The ground and rolled it.
