Salvation’s Splash

All those who have the ears to hear
     Will hear the water splash
And cleanse the earth from Devil’s fear
     As Satan’s hopes are dashed–

For he believed he could usurp
     The power of God’s Son,
And with a mortal wound to hurt
     What God’s Son had begun–

But Satan’s understanding fell,
     And twisted it became:
Mistook the Cross for His death knell,
     Thought Him the grave would claim–

But dawn of third day saw Him raised
     As tomb is opened wide,
And water splashes through His grave,
     Flows from His wounded side.

Now all who are by water wet
     Can hear the Devil cry,
As ears are opened, eyes are set
     On Him who’ll never die!
