Silence Travailed Because It Is Finished – Joel Oyeleke Ifeoluwa
“Silence travailed because IT IS FINISHED”
Beyond the cloud there is stillness,
On that gloomy day,
A glorious yet painful situation
where earth ought to celebrate
while the heavens mourn
but the multitude of divinity remained voiceless.
The father turned his back to the wall,
The son was about to kick the bucket,
The spirit must have been in quiet numbness
Cherubs and seraphs gave renditions
of absolute bleak emotion,
At that moment I could hear
the son saying; eli eli lama sabachthani,
This ninth hour was for humanity’s redemption,
Thus the heavens was made silent in crucifixtion,
No wonder there is jubilation when one accepts Christ’s salvation.
