The Gospel of Luke

I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightning

A Commentary

Cover Art by Connell Patrick Byrne“Good Friday”

Man of sorrows, well acquainted with grief.
Dragged to the city dump, Spread eagle on a beam.
Propped up like a scarecrow, nailed like a thief.
There for all the world to see, You did that for me.
You wore the chains so I could be free.
Lyrics by Pierce Pettis “You Did That For me”
