Pursuing The Passion Path

Fits tune: Malvern

(One tune to \'Jesus where\'er they people meet\')

Based on parts of Matthew Chapter 27

********

When Judas found Jesus condemned

He did seek his life to amend

But sad his fate, blood-money paid

The price for Jesus\' betrayal made

 

Though showing remorse, silver gave

He back to priests, but it they waived

Then \'twas the end of Judas, see

End of his life disastrously

 

Then at trial, there Pilate\'s wife

She in a dream had suffered strife

Advised Pilate not to ensue

Anything with Jesus, not do

 

But religious leaders incite

To make the crowd with all their might

Cry \'Crucify\', Jesus to tree (cross)

And prisoner Barabbas free

 

Delivered was He to their will

As frenzied they bayed for blood still

And washing hands there in their sight

Pilate disowned them, took his flight

 

Then mocked and jeered, and crown of thorn

As innocent Lamb he was shorn

Crucified, darkness o\'er all the land

As if akin to dust-storm\'s sand

 

At Jesus\' death the Temple veil

Tore top to bottom, sure, not fail

And earth did quake and rocks did rend

Victory, triumph, the outcome, end
