Long live the King Six days before the Passover ceremonies began Jesus arrived in Bethany where Lazarus, the man he had brought back to life, was. When the ordinary people of Jerusalem heard of his arrival they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus. Then the chief priests decided to kill him too, for it was because of him that many of the Jewish leaders had deserted and believed in Jesus as their Messiah. The next day the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city and a huge crowd of Passover visitors took palm branches and went down the road to meet him shouting: Long live the King
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed is the kingdom he is bringing
God save the King Jesus rode along on a young donkey fulfilling the prophecy that said, " Don't be afraid of you King, people of Israel, for he will come to you meekly sitting on a donkey's colt " (Zech 9:9)
The Last Supper
That evening as he sat eating with the twelve, he said, "one of you will betray me " Sorrow chilled their hearts and each one asked, "Am I the one?" He replied, "It is the one I served first, for I must die just as was prophesied but woe to the man by whom I am betrayed. Fat better for that one if he had never been born." Judas too had asked him, "Rabbi, am I the one?" and Jesus hat told him, "Yes." As the were eating, Jesus took a small loaf of bread and blessed it and broke it apart and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take it and eat it, for this is my body." And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks for it and gave it to them and said, "Each one drink from it, for this is my blood sealing the new covenant. It is poured out to forgive the sins of multitudes. Mark my words. I will not drink this wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." And when they had sun a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Gethsemane
Then Jesus brought them to a garden grove, Gethsemane, and told them to sit down and wait while he wen on ahead to pray. He took Peter with him and Zebedee's two sons, James and John, and began to be filled with anguish and despair. Then he told them,"My soul is crushed with horror and sadness to the point of death. Stay here, stay awake with me." He went forward a little and fell face downwards on the ground and prayed: Jesus The night is cold and quiet, my Lord
O let this cup pass from my lips
For I am so afraid. Father, help me now I pray
Save me from this trail I have to go through
Father, I have no one but you
Save me from the pain I have to bear. The night is cold and quiet my Lord
O let this cup pass from my lips
For I am so afraid. The nails are sharp and cruel, my Lord
O save me from a cross of wood
For I am so afraid. O God, the time is very near
I'm going to be betrayed by a man I trusted I cannot die upon a cross
Though not my will but yours, O God my Father. The nails are sharp and cruel, my Lord
But take me to the cross of wood
It is the only way.
Betrayal
Judas had told them, "You will know which one to arrest when I go over and greet him, then you can take him easily." So as soon as they arrived he walked up to Jesus: Judas
Peace be with you, Teacher
This is something I must do
There's a crowd of people waiting
And they're waiting here for you.
Jesus
Do it quickly, brother Judas
For I know my time has come
But your weapons won't be needed
You can see my friends have gone.
High Priest's Servant Girl
Surely you were with this Jesus
When the business first began? Peter
I don't understand you question
And I never knew the man. Servant Girl
I could swear I saw you with him Peter
Well that's something I deny Servant Girl
But you're clearly Galilean Peter
You're mistaken, that's a lie!
Listen to me
God knows I have never seen this man before today
How can I convince you there's no truth in what you say? God knows I deny the accusations you have made
How can I convince you I've no knowledge of his way?
How can I convince you I've no knowledge of his way? Did I hear a cock crow - leave me now - what was it Jesus said?
Did I hear a cock crow once again - what was it Jesus said?
I heard a cock crow - Jesus - I remember what you said.
Son of the World
Mary, Mother of Jesus
Son of my heart where are you roaming?
I have wandered many paths in search of you
Rising with the sun as the early flowers open
You wander lonely through our country
With words I cannot understand
Son of my heart. Son of my life I love you dearly
Love so deep I don't know how to say
I want you close to my heart and walking by me
Yet ways are strange, your people change
Son of my life,
Son of my life. Son of the world I was your mother
Mine was the pain that once unlocked you to the world
And no I see a stranger held in chains and taken from me
What words remain when daylight fades
Son of the world. And now I see a stranger held in chains and taken from me
Where ids the child I gave my life to?
What words remain when daylight fades?
Son of the world
The Trial
Pilate
Now you're standing here before me
My judgement to receive,
And the evidence against you
Is getting harder to believe For they claim you say you're greater
Than their prophets and their law,
If your kingdom is of heaven
Then why are you here at all? Now for God's sake give an answer
To the charges you have heard,
I've no reason to condemn you
And the charges are absurd. I just don't know what to make of you
Or the truth you claim to be,
And if you're really their Messiah
Then why can't your people see?
Listen to them The crowd
God knows we will see this Jesus crucified today
To Caesar you will answer if we don't get our way. God knows we will see this Jesus crucified today
To Caesar you will answer if we don't get our way.
To Caesar you will answer if we don't get our way. Pilate
You can see the situation
The position that I'm in.
I'd just have you whipped and beaten
But this crowd intends to win. I may be a Roman governor
But my hands are really tied.
And you're about to be the only King
I ever crucified. The Crowd
Listen to us
Crucify him, crucify him, set Barabbas free,
We'd rather have a murderer, than let this man blaspheme.
Crucify him, crucify him, set Barabbas free,
We'd rather have a murderer, than let this man blaspheme.
We'd rather have a murderer, than let this man blaspheme. Pilate
I'll have nothing more to do with you - I value my career.
I'll have nothing more to do with you - my heart is filled with fear.
I take no responsibility - take him away from here.
Judas Song
About that time Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned to die, changed his mind and deeply regretted what he had done, and brought back th money to the chief priests and other Jewish leaders. "I have sinned," he declared, "for I have betrayed an innocent man." "That is your problem." they retorted. Then he threw the money on the floor of the temple en went out:
Where can I run to hide myself?
The world has fallen dark
What can I do to help myself
To save me from the dark?
I have tried to kill the light
And now it grows so dark- What is happening to my eyes?
I'm blinded with my fear
What is happening to my heart ?
I sold my love so dear
What is happening to my life?
I've sinned and now I fear - What have I done to the Son of God
Who called me to himself?
What have I done, O Lord my God?
Please save my from myself
Why was I born? Where can I die
Now I know that I have sinned?
Simon Carry My Cross
On their way to the execution grounds they came across a man from Cyrene in Africa. Simon was his name, and forced to carry Jesus' cross.
Jesus
Simon, carry my cross
It's so heavy
They beat me till I fell
My strength has gone
And now I need your help. It's hard to follow this through
But it's something I have to do
This death I die for you
For I love you more
Than you will ever know, ever know. Simon, go back to the crowd
They've gathered to watch me die
It will be over soon
A few hours more
And then you will be free, be free.
Golgotha
Song for John
Jesus
Nearly done, I'm feeling cold
Giving al this body holds
The story never ends
So old. Hours have passed, it's been so ling
My hands are numb
And soon I will be gone
Then the battle will be won. Tell them that those who were dead are alive
Make them remember I've cast out fear
Show them the cripples now running wild
Tell them with joy their Master's here
Shout what you can see
My power can set them -
Shout what you can see
My power can set them free. John, you're looking tired
Let me draw you closer to my fire
Show you how the world's inspired. Mary, see- it's all been planned
The Christ must die
Try to understand
The Son of God is in God's hand John take your mother now, Mary your son
Stand and be ready for life has begun
Tell them that when I come down from the cross
Death will be over , its power will be lost
Then let the world see
My power can set them free. Tell them that those who were dead are alive
Make them remember I've cast out fear
Show them the cripples now running wild
Tell them with joy their Master's here
Shout what you can se
My power can set them - Shout what you can see
My power can set them free
Set them free, set them free, set them free.
Buy now it was noon, and darkness fell across the whole land for three hours until three o'clock. The light from the sun was gone, and the curtain separating the holiest place in the temple was split apart from top to bottom, and the earth shook and rocks broke. Then Jesus shouted, "Father, I commit my Spirit to you." And with those words he died. When the captain of the Roman military unit handling the executions saw with had happened, he was struck with awe and said, " Surely this was God's Son."

Peace Be With You
That evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors in fear of the Jewish leaders, when suddenly Jesus was standing there among them. After greeting them he showed them his hands and side and how wonderful was their joy as they saw their Lord. He spoke to them again and said: Jesus
Life so full I give to you
As the Father sends me so I send you
Spread my light throughout all life
Peace be with you
