Wood holds within it great mystery,
but so can fire;
death can come in a myriad of forms,
yet, of these,
only wood can bring salvation.

It was designed this way by God,
from the onset of creation;
that those who love His Son,
must pass through his death,
in order that they may come into life.

There is no other path to Heaven,
but that a soul pass through the cross;
many have tried to forge a way,
but all their labors are pure vanity,
there is only one way, the cross.

It stands as the central point,
and there is no deviation;
that leads unto eternal life.

Through his wounded flesh,
his lifeless corpse on Golgotha;
one can find God's mercy,
and pass through it into life.

The body of a man will die,
but their soul, it lasts forever;
and cannot be destroyed,
this is the promise of every new birth.

Be not afraid of the death of the body,
it lasts but a short while, is gone;
then shall be raised up from death.
