The Fruit of Life

In all the darkness of our night I grasp
For fruit that brings not death to us but life,
Dispells the darkness brought in us by asp
Who fled from up above His heaven’s light–
A light that shows the gate to Paradise
Unlocked by key that is His Cross of wood,
Where virtue of God’s Son defeated vice
And cleanses us from sin like Noah’s flood.
From side of Him who died is heaven’s flow
Of water, blood for us to cleanse and feed
So we again His freedom’s truth can know,
And He through us can do His mighty deeds.
We eat His fruit in light from heaven poured
From Him whose Spirit ’round the earth now soars.
