Travel a road,
But a moment with Me…
Humble entry,
Seeming victory;
Begin to address offense
And concern…
Watch the leaders
Quickly turn.
Infiltrate…
One close betrays,
And sends to sentence
The One who placed
Himself in their hands,
Himself in the hands
Of One greater than they;
In the hands of the only One
Who will redeem this day;
In the hands of One
Who knows all ends,
Who knows the horror,
Who still commands
The events of the horrible day.

The emptiness that followed
For betrayer, did not end;
Drove him beyond regret
For actions he could no longer revoke…
Emptiness leading to death.

The emptiness for followers,
Who scattered to the wind,
Drove them to bitter regret
For actions they could not rescind.
But a filling up is coming,
And the emptiness will end
When faith is built,
Forgiveness got,
Life snatched back
From death’s powerless hand…
Belief received from all-powerful One
Emptiness leading to life!

Emptiness for Father,
Loving only Son,
Loving the undeserving,
Allows death to overcome…
But a moment,
A day;
One, two, then three.
Emptiness fullfilling
Master plan for filling up;
A heavenly kingdom
Of undeserving,
Admittance only via the blood
Of the perfect, the passover lamb.
Emptiness leading to death
And to life,
Purpose completed in emptiness’ time…
Father filling His house!

Emptiness of the Son,
Who saw all of the plans unveiled;
No reviling, nor defense
As He watched it take place,
No resistance as others
Spat and beat
Upon His mortal self.
Immortal full aware that the end
Would produce
Emptiness leading to death,
Emptiness filling His death,
Emptiness overcoming death,
And giving life as He’d resurrect…

Emptied tomb…
The empty One
Completing salvation’s course!
Emptied ones received and won;
One emptied, lost for ever,
But the others drawn home.

Emptied One’s glory,
Emptied ones’ glory;
Father and Son rejoice!
Death could not hold
The emptied Son,
Could not destroy
The glorious plan.
Emptiness overcome!
Emptiness overcomes!
