Harrowing Hell

He goes where Adam, Eve before Him went
On day before His New Creation dawns
And rescues all before Him there were sent
To wait for Him for Whom their hearts have longed.

And yet I know to hell in me descends
The One who searches hell for Adam, Eve
For He casts out from my heart deep within
The hell I’ve sown and grants me full reprieve.

Like Adam, Eve I’ve longed for only Him
Who came through Mary’s “yes” to enter us
To harrow hell in every child of man
And cleanse our hearts so we can in Him trust.

For Satan cannot reign where Jesus lives
Because it’s heaven in us that He gives.
