The beginning and end of death

After I Corinthians 15:3-6, 20-26

Our death began with a man,

an Adam, the sin encoded

into our cells, our DNA, our brains

and hearts, it began with a man

the dead are now raised

through a man, breaking through

our cells, our DNA, our brains

and hearts, death ending with a man

a man who used his death

to take our sin, our death

away, triumph over death,

vanquishing death, in three days

three days to destroy death

three days to raise to life

three days to establish the kingdom

three days, only three days

it was sufficient and

it was good
