Before the cross, the Passion,
Before He washed His disciples' feet
even the feet of Judas, of Peter,
the one who betrayed Him,
the one who denied Him
all those who ran away...
 
Even before the manger,
His birth in a lowly stable
Christ became mortal
leaving eternity
a kernel of heaven
in Mary’s womb...
 
Fully God but fully Man,
folded into the smallest seed of humanity,
listening to the heartbeat of Mary,
Jesus, our Lord and Savior
As we were in the secret place
formed in our mother's womb...
 
A kernel of heaven
inside the bounds of time
living as we do, mortal,
nine months of quiet, of waiting,
Every child before they are born,
like our risen Lord and Savior...

We are trapped in chains
our virtual prisons,
calls from our pasts
for us to return...
 
God makes a way
for the chains to be broken...
We must rise, free...
We must walk in His light...
 
Satan wants us
in our prisons...
God calls us
to rise, to come out...
 
Break every chain, Lord,
that binds me...
I long to walk
in Your glorious light...

gathered with them
the sisters of Lazarus
Mary and Martha,
whom Jesus loves...
 
the rabbi coming
Martha running to Him,
professing her faith
believing His identity...
 
a cloud of witnesses
cloistered around Mary
while sitting shiva
Lazarus bound in a tomb...
 
leaving their house
walking with the grieving Mary
with her when Jesus
calls Lazarus from the tomb...
 
a cloud of witnesses
facing the power of Jesus...
God here in the flesh
raising the dead to life...
 
no denying the miracle
the removing of his garments
Lazarus alive, breathing,
the air of Jesus’ healing...

This final moment
proving the omnipotence of Jesus
a stark choice to raise
Lazarus from the death...
 
A miracle like no other,
closing off denial,
a denial of His identity
proving He is God...
 
The intensity building
the exigency of this moment
destiny calling to Christ
to die, to rise from the dead...

God cried, Jesus wept,
He was grieved in His Spirit,
He loved Lazarus,
But He loved us more.
Christ let His friend die...
 
God, cried, Jesus wept,
His heart was burdened with sorrow,
But He raised him from the dead,
To show us His power,
To bring the Godhead Glory...
 
God cried, Jesus wept,
While Caiaphas planned evil...
The march toward Passover,
To the Sanhedrin, to the cross...
Had already begun...
 
God cried, Jesus wept,
Light walked in the darkness,
But we need to make a choice,
We must be like those there
We must believe in Jesus...

Jesus is the Messiah – v2

Jesus is the Messiah,
The One foretold in scripture,
He is our Lord and Savior,
The risen One lifted up,
Seated on His throne…
 
Jesus is the Messiah,
Our Redeemer, the Prince of Peace,
He is the Word made Flesh,
The One Gate to heaven,
To eternal Life…
 
Jesus is the Messiah,
Son of the living God, our Father,
His Spirit dwells within us,
The Way, The Truth, the Life,
He is the One who will come again…

Jesus is the Messiah

Jesus is the Messiah,
The one foretold in scripture,
He is our Lord and Savior,
The risen One raised up,
Seated on His throne…
 
Jesus is the Messiah,
Prince of Peace, our Redeemer,
He is the Word made Flesh,
The One Gate to heaven,
To eternal Life…
 
Jesus is the Messiah,
Son of the living God, our Father,
His Spirit dwells within us,
The Way, The Truth, the Life,
Who will come again…

Christ spoke to us plainly – v2

Christ spoke to us plainly,
But we do not see Him,
The risen Son of God,
The Word made Flesh…
 
Christ spoke to us plainly,
But we did not listen,
He told us who He was,
The Messiah come down…
 
Christ spoke to us plainly,
But we did not follow,
We struggle in the world,
As if we are alone…
 
Christ spoke to us plainly,
He is our Lord and our Savior,
He is the Messiah, the Chosen One,
The Son of the living God…
 
Christ spoke to us plainly,
Jesus is still calling to us,
To pick up our cross and follow,
To walk on water with Him…
