Clothed in light
Screams out
In the agony of birth.
A red dragon appears
Violent and vicious
Standing ready to consume.
She gives birth
To a boy
To the Prince of Peace
To a man
To a fierce ruler of all nations
The dragon breathes flames,
Stands ready to devour
Our Forgiveness
Our Peace
Our Healing
Our Help
Our Hope.
O Lord
Let it not be!
This dragon will destroy
Our Everything!
The Prince of Peace,
The baby,
The man,
Has an army of angels.
They fight
The dragon and his minions,
Evicting them from Zion
Hurling the serpent and his friends
Straight to Earth
The kingdom is saved
Praise God!
The dragon:
He comes for us,
The baby’s army.
He comes
To kill and destroy
Those giving birth
To hope
To peace
To truth
To love
