Tune: The Green Hill
('There is a green hill far away')
John Chapter 20 parts
********
John's Gospel Series (24)
Jesus, led to be crucified
For us He lived and died
And rose again, the Father's will
He did perfectly still
It all according to scripture
Each event passed for sure
Not unknowingly, no surprise
It all with the word [of scripture] ties
They parted His garments between
Them, and His coat was seen
To be one piece, they did not tear
But for clothes lots did share
He thirsted, received vinegar
Though taste of it was sour
Cried, 'It is finished', all was done
Redemption through the Son
A bone of Him was not broken
He was an offering then
Complete and perfect sacrifice
For us it does suffice
Heart pierced with spear, and so it be
They shall look on Him, see
Look on Him who they pierced, foretold
By prophets of days old
Joseph and Nicodemus there
Did take a part, did share
In preparing His body soon
To lay in garden tomb

in hardship we reconsider thee oh lord.
Thanks Pauly. We have our own troubles - not to deny them. Yet often there's someone as troubled as us - or worse than us.
You're a real master at these - and I'm still here as well.
Thanks Michael. Will I go on for ever?! Well, there's 26 in this series. I'm up to 24 now.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE : Great thoughts to help me sleep (its 11:30 pm here !) I love the Hymn (written to explain the catechism) it was one of the first proper hymns I learned to sing & play. Love your paraphrase of JOHN 24 : which tells the Crucifixion as it happened : AMEN
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
