with feet & hands fast to the cross,
it must have seemed like all was lost;
no revolution televised,
no kingdom come before our eyes;
and with the hour now at hand,
how very pitiful, the man
who came with words of perfect
Love,
now crying out to God above:
“Elahi, Elahi,
lama sabachthani...”
and with a cry, he breathed his last,
after the ninth hour had passed;
the last had now become the first,
Longinus’ spear confirmed the worst.
the women wept, but never left,
their hearts bereaved but not bereft;
and when the Sunday sun arose,
who would roll away the stone?
he wasn’t there, he wasn’t there,
but only Mary understood:
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead, cast out error.
now after three days under rock,
with the apostles still in shock,
who would be there to receive,
upon the final victory,
that he was not the only one?
No, he was not the only one.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead, cast out error
freely have you received,
freely give...
and live an endless homage…
love like you mean it
let the truth make you free
be and believe it
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead, cast out error
freely have you received,
freely give...
