"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

The Champion

I was at Laser Fair in IMM and I saw a Carman DVD on the shelves. Man, what's the significance? It's the most unusual place to find a DVD of a Christian artiste! I also saw Steven Curtis Chapman. Anyway, this are the actual lyrics to the song. It's more like a narrative, but it's really cool! Read it and I'll let u listen to the song or watch the music video for it.

In the vast expanse of a timeless place,
Where silence ruled the outer
space,
Ominously towering, it stood,
The symbol of a spirit war
Between the one name Lucifer,
And the Morning Star, the ultimate of
good.

Enveloped by a trillion planets,
Clean as lightning and hard as
granite,
A cosmic coliseum would host the end
Of the war between the
lord of sin and death,
And the Omnipotent Creator of man's first breath,
Who will decide who forever will be the Champion.

The audience for the 'Fight of the Ages' was assembled and in place.
The angels came in splendor from a star.
The saints that had gone before
were there: Jeremiah, Enoch, Job.
They were singing the "Song of Zion" on
David's harp.

The demons arrived, offensive and vile, cursing and blaspheming God.
Followed by their 'trophies' dead and gone.
Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh,
Capone,
Tormented and vexed and grieved.
Waiting for their judgment from
the Throne.

Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd and the demons squealed
with glee,
as a sordid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt.
Arrogantly
prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud
Trolled by demons,
Satan ascended from Hell.

Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned!
The demons reeled in pain
as a swell of power like silent thunder rolled
The surge of light beyond
intense, illuminating the universe,
In resplendent glory appeared the Son of
God.

Then a Persona, yes, Extraordinaire appeared in center ring.
God
the Father will oversee the duel.
Opening the Book of Life, each grandstand
hushed in awe as
majestically He said,
"Now here's the rules. He'll be
wounded for their transgressions,
bruised for iniquities"
When He said,
"By His stripes they're healed," the devil shook!
He screamed, "Sickness is
my specialty. I hate that healing junk!"
God said, "You shut your face, I
wrote the book!"
Then the Father looked at His only Son and said,
"Jesus
you know the rules.
Your blood will cleanse their sins and calm their
fears."
Then He pointed His finger at Satan and said,
"And I know you
know the rules.
You've been twisting them to deceive My people for years."
Satan cried, "I'll kill you Christ! You'll never win this fight!"
The
demons wheezed, "That's right, there ain't no way."
Satan jeered, "You're
dead meat, Jesus, I'm gonna bust you UP tonight!"
Jesus said, "Go ahead,
make my day!"

The bell rang, the crowd cheered, the fight was on,
And the devil
leaped in fury.
With all his evil tricks he came undone.
He threw his
jabs of hate and lust.
A stab of pride and envy, but the hand that knew no
sin blocked every one.

Forty days and nights they fought, and Satan couldn't touch Him.
Now the final blow saved for the final round.
Prophetically Christ's
hands came down
And Satan struck in vengeance!
The blow of death felled
Jesus to the ground.

The devils roared in victory!
The saints shocked and perplexed as
wounds appeared upon His hands and feet.
Then Satan kicked Him in His side,
and blood and water flowed.
And they waited for the 10 count of defeat.
God the Father turned His head,
His tears announcing Christ was dead!
The 10 count would proclaim the battle's end.
Then Satan trembled
through his sweat in unexpected horror, yet...
As God started the count by
saying,
"...10..."
"Hey wait a minute, God..." "...9..." "Stop! You're
counting wrong..."
"...8..."
His eyes are moving...
"...7..."
His fingers are twitching...
"...6..."
"Where's all this Light
coming from?"
"...5..."
"He's alive!"
"...4..."
"Oh - nooooo!"
"...3..."
"And yet,"
"...2..."
"Oh...Yessssss!
"...1..."
He has won!
He has won!
He's alive forevermore!
He is risen, He
is Lord,
He has won!
He has won!
He's alive forevermore,
He is
risen!
He is Lord!

Proclaim the news in every tongue,
Through endless ages and beyond!
Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong!
Captivity has been set
free, salvation bought for you and me,
'Cause Satan is defeated,
And
Jesus is The Champion!
