“Two Versions” by Cool Hand Luke.

Lyrics:
We fell asleep, honestly
We didn’t see a thing
When we awoke no one spoke
We hoped it was a dream
No one really thought that they would come
To take Him away

When I think of that empty tomb
I know that I’m to blame
There must have been several men
To roll the stone away
All the guard throughout the yard
Will swear by what I say

When I think of that empty tomb
It fills me with shame
Ohh, ohh

Honestly, I saw everything
They told me what to say
But for me, it wasn’t the money
I was just so afraid
They could take my job away
I have bills to pay
Pay, pay

When I first saw the glow of sun
The ground began to shake
The ground began to shake

I saw a light grow in the sky
It grew in its descent
It grew in its descent

A mighty man adorned in light
He rolled the stone away
He rolled the stone away

The dead man rose
The dead man walked
I thought it was the end
I thought it was the end
We became dead men
Me and all my men
We were like dead men

Was this really the Son of God
The Son of God, risen from the dead?

“I Remember” by Cool Hand Luke.

Lyrics:
I remember once in Judah before You were born
Elizabeth called me “Mother of the Lord”
John jumped in her womb and by the Spirit knew who You were
Now Your people who walked with You forgot Your word

But I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
In You

I remember in the temple after You were born
Bearing pigeons and presenting You to the Lord
Seeing Simeon hold You in his arms with tears in his eyes
I remember every word that he prophesied

I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
In You
In You

[4x]
A sword will pierce your soul

I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
In You

“The Confusion Of Simon Peter” by Cool Hand Luke.

Lyrics:
Here lies Your body
Where is Your soul?
You said You were going
Where did You go?
I thought You would lead us
I thought You would stay
Rabbi, we need You
But You’ve gone away

Son of God
Oh, Son of Man
Deceiver or the Great I Am?
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
What on earth am I to do?

I wanted a last chance
To set things straight
To tell You I’m sorry
But now it’s too late
Did You forgive me?
Did You forget?
Were You still angry
In Your dying breath?

Son of God
Oh, Son of Man
Deceiver or the Great I Am?
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
What on earth am I to do?

[2x]
(This is the end)
(This is goodbye)

(This is the end) The last thing I wanted was to hurt You
(This is goodbye) And that was the last thing that I did
(This is the end)
(This is goodbye)
(This is the end)
(This is the end) But what about the miracles?
(This is the end) The meaning of the parables?
(This is the end) What about the dead You raised from the grave?
From the grave?
From the grave?

Jesus didn’t stay dead.

Yes, Jesus physically died, contrary to any silly theories & cults that claim otherwise. But He didn’t stay dead, otherwise He’d be just another good teacher who was killed ’cause some were jealous of Him, a victim, a martyr. He’s God Incarnate, He was resurrected, risen, is alive!

“For you will not leave my soul in Hell; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.”

Palm Sunday. Christ’s Triumphal Entry (from Matthew; Mark; Luke; John)

Matthew 21:1-11
“1) And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mountain of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2) Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and directly you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to Me.
3) And if any man says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will send them.
4) All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5) Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and sitting on a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.
6) And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7) And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set Him on them.
8) And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and scattered them in the way.
9) And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10) And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11) And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Mark 11:1-11
“1) And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain of Olives, He sent forth two of His disciples,
2) And said to them, Go your way into the village opposite you: and as soon as you are entered into it, you will find a colt tied, on which never a man has sat; loose him, and bring him.
3) And if any man says to you, Why do you this? Say that the Lord has need of him; and directly he will send him here.
4) And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside in a place where two ways met; and they loosed him.
5) And some of them that stood there said to them, What are you doing, loosing the colt?
6) And they said to them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7) And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and He sat upon him.
8) And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and spread them in the way.
9) And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord:
10) Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11) And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when He had looked round about at all things, and now the evening had come, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.”

Luke 19:28-44
“28) And when He had so spoken, he went on ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29) And it came to pass, when He had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called the mountain of Olives, He sent two of his disciples,
30) Saying, Go into the village over there; at the entrance you will find a colt tied, on which no man has ridden: loose him, and bring him here.
3)  And if any man asks you, Why do you loose him? Thus will you say to him, Because the Lord has need of him.
32) And they who were sent went their way, and found even as He had said to them.
33) And as they were loosing the colt, the owners there said to them, Why loose you the colt?
34) And they said, The Lord has need of him.
35) And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36) And as He went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37) And when He had come near, even now at the descent of the mountain of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38) Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39) And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to Him, Master, rebuke Your disciples.
40) And He answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41) And when He had come near, He looked over the city, and wept over it,
42) Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong to your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43) For the days will come on you, that your enemies will cast a trench around you, and encircle you, and keep you in on every side,
44) And will lay you even with the ground, and your sons inside you; and they will not leave in you one stone on another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.”

John 12:12-22
“12) On the next day many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13) took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.
14) And Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
15) Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.
16) These things understood not His disciples at  first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.
17) The people therefore that were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore record.
18) For this reason the people also met Him, for they heard that He had done this miracle.
19) The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive how we don ‘t benefit? Behold, the world has gone after Him.
20) And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21) The same came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and begged him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22) Philip went and told Andrew: and Andrew and Philip told Jesus.”
