Crimson Chalice

I can taste the wine

The golden nectar of eternity

The ruby stream of separation

Crimson chalice

Stream of separation.

I can see the sky

The dismal clouds that threaten me

The grey domain of glory

A silver heaven

Domain of glory.

I can smell the flower

The sweet scent of presence

The luscious dream of nature

Shivered shadows

Dream of nature.

I can hear your voice

The affliction of your breath

The indifferent waffle without meaning

 A distant tune

Without meaning.

I can feel your touch

The cold marble of midnight

The early frost of winter

Passing immortality

Frost of winter.

I can sense your spirit

The warm ghost of your whisper

The rushing flow of the river

Soundless surrender

Flow of the river.

Crimson Vial

The cord that reconciles

Justice held in suspense

Innocent blood eternally spent

Incense offered

Rebellions judgment

Crimson vial.

Forgiven my debts and declared me rich,

Cancelled my failure and declared me a success,

Buried my sinful nature and created me a new creation,

Killed my orphan heart and adopted me as his son,

Released me from the law and declared me righteous,

Ended my separation and made me his holy vessel.

Through his suffering declaration

Justified in streams of scarlet

Became what I deserved

Incense offered

Redemptions attire

Crimson vial.

Crimson Drops

It cost me nothing

To go free

Receive new life

Forgiven.

It cost Jesus life

His poured out blood

To settle the debt unpaid

Forgiveness.

How precious the news

Reconciled to god

My sin no longer remembered

Forgotten

How beautiful Christ is

The crimson drops

Cancels my sins

Forever.

Crimson Ransom

The cross is the price

Payment made in full

Free from sin

Without a stain

Crimson ransom

The offering was himself

Perfect sinless sacrifice

Chosen before time

Chosen to die

Divine ransom

The sacrifice was sufficient

Once and for all

For all time

For evermore

Perfect Ransom

The price was paid

Life given up in death

All for me

For everyone

Eternal ransom.

Crimson Acceptance

Crimson acceptance poured without a stain

Endured damnation broken in my place

Owed debt nailed to the cross

Secured in a suspended breath of grace.

Immersed into a vast ocean of love

Guilt released free from all demands

Entangled with creations chosen firmament

Unfathomable depths etched into loves palms.
