there are things out there that would destroy us

no

that's wrong

there are things out there that have destroyed us

there

that's 'better'

we are destroyed

were it not for The One who would save us

we would be without hope

we would remain destroyed

we would know nothing but death

death, and horrors beyond our imagining

such as no person could conceive

we inhabit a battlefield

combatants fierce and relentless

on either side

venomous hate grapples infinite love

struggles against insurmountable power

attacks as a cornered beast, without mercy

we inhabit a battlefield

but D-Day has been fought

has been gloriously won

darkness is overcome

destruction is undone

death is defeated

what remains to us is to choose

V-Day approaches

will we be restored

gaining victory and life

will we be destroyed

earning defeat and death
