The Mourning Son Rises for YOU by Mario Santana

Lost in a darkness where light could not exist,

He summoned His own light in that black abyss.

Satan’s unrestrained power in Gethsemane…

…pursued Him again at the cross of Calvary.

Before the foundations of the world had even…

…began… the Father was preparing Him, as He’d been…

…called to be Redeemer of all that’s heathen.

The time was now… for Father’s Spirit to leave Him.

The Savior did it alone –

The Father knew He could.

He did all this so that none of us would.

It’s misunderstood…

His sacrifice was infinite…………………………………………………

It covers all sins – There really is no end to it.

They didn’t take His life – He gave it up Himself.

Everything bows down – Even heaven…and hell.

Now death has no sting and hell has an exit…

...‘cause now we can repent and ALL be resurrected.

Author Bio: Inspired by his faith in God and the lyrical genius of several conscious hip hop poets, Mario merges these two passions to produce works that reflect a unique flavor and perspective on various thought-provoking topics. He is inspired by poets who are incredible storytellers, use innovative rhyming schemes, leverage duality in their meaning, and comment on the profound or controversial. Although he loves to write about love, he focuses more on other subjects that are not covered nearly as frequently.

Mario is currently a student at the Kellogg School of Management graduating in 2023 with an emphasis in Marketing, Leadership, and Entrepreneurial Studies. He is a Colombian American from Houston, and he is also a husband and proud father of two children.
