Well, much as I find violence abhorrent, without the violence of the crucifixion would anyone remember Jesus today? No crucifixion, no resurrection either. :( |

18 Apr 03 - 05:23 PM (#936172) Subject: RE: BS: GOOD FRIDAY From: Susan from California Here are lyrics to a song that my husband, Keith Johnson, wrote this year. It's meant for Holy Week. Barabus Just like an army that was come to set us free I remember where I was when you rode in. The banners flying high, almost reaching to the sky Palm branches marked the path where you had been. We cry Barabus, give us Barabus. I think about the way the soldiers make us haul their load. I think about the tax we have to pay. They beat us, they rape us: I don't really want to know. I believed you were gonna make them pay. We cry Barabus, give us Barabus. Crucify Him, crucify Him. (this is repeated for a verse) We cry Barabus, give us Barabus. I watch you pray, the price you pay to save us Even though the world's hatred is all inside us. It's as though we are willing if it'll unleash your anger, To be wrong, to be criminal, even to die. But we can't cry for mercy when we pray for vengeance, When we think that forgiveness is some kind of weakness, When the shame of the cross is covered by you, Father, we don't know what we do. We cry Barabus, give us Barabus. His notes at the bottom of the page say only 4th fret Am-F several times E - Am- F (Keith Johnson 2003 all rights reserved) |

I know this is true because I read it somewhere...I wish I could have made it this afternoon. I don't know if you have to go to the official stations or can do them on your own but it is just one of those things that seems worthwhile to me. mg |

21 Apr 03 - 02:53 PM (#937257) Subject: RE: GOOD FRIDAY Music & memories From: Burke I have often listened to "Jesus Christ, Superstar" on Good Friday. More traditional: Were you there when they crucified my Lord? (Our Palm Sunday anthem this year) When I survey the wondrous cross Oh sacred head now (sore) wounded Alas and did my Savior bleed? (to the old Scottish tune, Martyrdom) Sacred Harp: Morning: "He dies, the friend of sinners dies" PS Why was this thread called BS? |

21 Apr 03 - 08:44 PM (#937442) Subject: RE: GOOD FRIDAY Music & memories From: SINSULL Simple Good Friday Hymn from my childhood: At the cross her station keeping Stood the mournful mother weeping Close to Jesus to the last. Who can contemplate our mother At the feet of Christ our brother ......? |

22 Apr 03 - 12:42 AM (#937559) Subject: RE: GOOD FRIDAY Music & memories From: GUEST,leeneia I did so much music in the past week that it's become a blur. National Catholic week - we had church Thursday, Friday, Saturday night, and Sunday morning. Everything from Mozart to "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." We have an excellent choir, and people packed the church. On Easter Sunday, they had to put up folding chairs for the visitors. Saturday night, the Easter vigil, is the blockbuster. We started in darkness, and people passed a flame from candle to candle. Long streamers of white fabric had been draped from the vault to the pillars. (This involves two people wearing safety harnesses going up into the attic, the area between the vault and the roof.) Two adults were baptized in the pool, and six people joined. I forget what else we did - as I say, it's a blur. About two hours into the service, a guest turned to a friend of mine and said, "Do you do this every week?" It still makes me chuckle. |

22 Apr 03 - 01:15 AM (#937571) Subject: RE: GOOD FRIDAY Music & memories From: Susan from California When I was a teenager, "Jesus Christ, Superstar" was how my family celebrated Easter. The album got very scratchy over the years, and a couple years ago I bought it on cd. Somehow it isn't the same without the hisses and pops. |
