Secret Prison
They’ll try to change the planet
Into a secret prison
Where God can never find us
But prisoners may summon
The prisoners can sing
In that secret prison
Though it be the cell
Of the ruins of oblation
No crypt of death can hold
God’s beloved Son,
Nor keep Him in the cell
Of Caesar’s secret prison
The room of the apostles
After Resurrection –
Christ came through the wall
To find that secret prison
