We are gathered to bring honour
To our beloved, Christ Jesus
We thought He was the One
Who would save and redeem us
He was such a powerful prophet
Both in word and deed
He caused the lame to walk
The dead to rise and the blind to see
He grew up in un-notable Nazareth
With sawdust forever at His feet
But He declared God's Word
With great authority
He was full of wisdom and was praised
By everyone but those
Pharisees who treated Him
Like wolves wearing fancy robes
He proclaimed good news -
The forgiveness of sins
And healed on the Sabbath
To the Pharisees' chagrin
He taught us how to pray
To our Father above
And He was filled with such
Compassion and love
He ate with tax collectors
And others with bad names
And then He was arrested,
Rejected and betrayed
He was mocked and beaten
Put on trial and accused
He defended not Himself
Like a lamb on the altar, He refused
He was not a criminal
Yet the crowds roared, "Crucify!"
It's been 3 days now
Since our friend, Jesus, has died
He was more than a good teacher
He was the Son of God, our Lord
Now what is that ruckus?
Who's that pounding on the door?
Inspired by the Book of Luke
