Capricornus, Life from Death by Rowan Hartwell

"Capricornus: Life from Death" is a powerful exploration of the ancient symbol of the goat, representing sacrifice and atonement, and its deep connection to the Christian message of salvation. This song reflects on the theme of life emerging from death, as symbolized by the constellation Capricornus, where the sacrificial goat, sinking to death, gives way to new life.

Drawing inspiration from the imagery of atonement, the song tells the story of how Christ’s death and resurrection bring forth eternal life for all who believe. Just as the goat is a symbol of sacrifice, so too is Christ the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, conquering death through His own sacrifice:

Capricornus and its Deacons, Sagitta, Aquila and Delphinus, in the celestial story, points us to the ultimate sacrifice that brings about the greatest gift—new and abundant life through Christ. As the seasons turn, so does the hope of the resurrection, where the old passes away and life springs forth eternal.

"Capricornus: Life from Death" is a song that speaks of redemption, transformation, and the promise of new life through the power of Christ's atoning sacrifice.

1Co 15:20-22 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
