Only One Man


Many a man can say that they have conquered the earth.

They have trekked a hundred miles,

They have climbed a thousand feet, 

Many a man can say they they have conquered the earth.

 

Less men can say that they have conquered the sea.

Survived its full ferocity,

Braced for it's power and lived.

Less men can say that they have conquered the sea. 

 
 
Fewer still can say they have conquered the sky.
 
Soared with the eagles,
 
Rode on the back of the wind,
 
Fewer still can say they have conquered the sky. 
 
 
 
Only one Man has conquered death.
 
Felt its cold grip and broke free,
 
Brought defeat to the ultimate loss.
 
Only one Man has conquered death. 
 
 
 
He is Lord
