♪ The smell

of rain ♪ ♪ The wonder and thirst of loneliness ♪ ♪ Forever will

be your pain ♪ ♪ The scent, the scent of rain ♪ The Lord

keeps faith forever, ♪ For the oppressed.

♪ ♪ Who then is new to the glory, ♪ ♪ And the Lord sets captives free.

♪ ♪ Blessed, blessed are they, ♪ ♪ Who wonder at Christ, ♪

The Lord

loves the just. The Lord protects the stranger.

Blessed, blessed are they who walk the right path. The fatherless son of a widow the

Lord sustains, but the way of loving made him heathen more.

O, O, O, O, O, O, O,

There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord, for You to reveal Yourself to us. There is a longing in our hearts for love. We only find in You, our God. There is a moment in our hearts, O Lord, for You to reveal Yourself to us. There is a moment in our hearts, O Lord, we will repent in You, our God. For mercy is a bridge in sorrow, in grief, being near is a bridge, O God.

♪ There is no longing in the

world so low ♪ ♪ We only long when you are around ♪

according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Jesus

went out with his disciples across

the and they entered in, and Jesus said, Stay a little while with me, wait just a little, The

time has come. The hour is near. The night will pass. My heart grows fear. Then he flew below, and closed my eyes, And praised me, knowing that his

love Has been mine for a while.

Chorus In Jesus

Christ our dearest disciples,

I

hear your prayers, those that I have known. I have all the time, I would

like to know the words I spoke.

Osu, Osu, Osu! Oh, oh,

Your

will be done.

And Jesus returned to his disciples and

informed them Jesus, where art thou from, my love? Step forward, I say.

to the ground.

And Jesus asked once again, Who is it you want?

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus!

I have told you I am here. If I am the one you want, let me spend You have come out here with songs and with lullabies. Let life as within your music reach. Announce all the scriptures.

Take

me as you will,

Simon Peter, who had followed them there, remained out in the courtyard of the fire, mourning his son. A servant girl, recognizing Peter, asked him, Do you know this Jesus answer? Peter denied it. But I know that I've seen you with him, I'm certain of it. Woman, I know not this man.

Then

who, who would know this man? Who would know this Jesus? Who, who thinks they know this man? Long ago I came to know this man, this Jesus Now I long to know this Jesus once again

I know

this man, I know this man called Jesus, and this thing will appear as the Christ will speak. For I want to know this man and then think, I'm lost

and all the scribes, for this is

soliciting testimony against him.

The earth can say he built his prophet temple.

The earth can say he built it back in three days. He calls himself a son of Abbasidic, from a Pharisee.

Is there no answer to this testimony revealed against you?

Have you no answer to this testimony revealed against you?

Have you no answer to this testimony revealed against you? Have you no answer to this testimony revealed against you? Have you no answer to this testimony revealed against you?

I am the Messiah, the Son of God.

decided to take formal action against Jesus.

What

need do we have for further witnesses?

They bound him and led him away. They led him away to Pontius Pilate.

And Pilate said, Are you the king of the Jews?

It is you who say it. It is you who say I am.

We were to say he built this world a temple. We were to say he built it back in three days. He calls himself the son of a great messiah. Of a great messiah. Now what do you say?

My kingdom does not belong to this world. For if it did, It would not speak out against me.

It is you who say it.

It is you who say I am. Untruth is the reason I came to this world. And those who speak truth hear my voice.

Truth, truth, what does that mean? Who has spoken truth? Truth is seldom seen. Truth from a man who's soon to die. Such a solid hill. Such a sound. Uuuu... The King or God, this is just a man. And as for myself, I find no face to give, nor soul to be faced against.

Perfetto!

And with a vision of truth that's never been.

Who could

understand?

This is no Messiah. Amen.

Amen.

This is no Messiah, the King of God. Such a sobbing tale, such a saddening lie. Pity to you, Jesus, for you drowned us.

The

soldiers led Jesus away into the praetorium. They put a purple rope on him and twisted together a thong of thorns

Again

and again they struck him on the head with a staff. They mocked him by falling on their knees and paying homage. They took off the purple robe and put his clothes back on him. Then they led him out to be crucified. A large number of people joined to follow him, including many women, who mourned and cried for his suffering. Jesus heard them and said to them,

Shed not your tears, Save them for the children you will bear. For the time will come when we'll say, Blessed is the childless woman, Without child to see this day. Ere thou Jerusalem Shed not your tears, Seek them for the children who

All the time will come and we'll stay. Listen to the childless morn, Without child to see the day, When the mountains fall around them, And the sun shines for all, When blessed are those that pray.

Children we have sheltered.

When they came to the place called the spot, there they crucified, along with two other criminals, one on his right, the other on his left. The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at them. They said he saved others, when he saved himself, if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.

And there was darkness over the whole land. And Jesus cried out, My God, my

God, why have you abandoned me?

My God, my God, why?

Then

Jesus said, My Father,

In the

sound of a scythe, who then brings me to his place? And Jesus said, Now it is finished, This I ask, but to know the Lord, and to bear His cross, so to wear the crown He wore.

from the primitive beginning of the human experience. We have found ourselves an extremely bound to the devastating consequences of conflict. Whether from deep within, neighbor to neighbor, or nation to nation, we cannot escape this challenge to move beyond fear to truth and peace. Embodied in Jesus of Nazareth, we are shown the way.

And meet across their stands his mother

Mary,

alone with the disciples, And Jesus looked down and says to his mother, To all the many warriors come.

And on a cross beside him once he's mercy, A criminal begs forgiveness And Jesus in the near death says to his brother, Today in paradise we both shall live. Jesus, remember,

We are people, we can go on. Jesus, we can go on. He can come home.

And from the cross there was a way over, walking by the wayside.

We can be all we want, We can be all we want. We can be all we want, Without a home And

by the cross a son has found a mother And by

His cross a man can now go
