JOHN 19:41

JOHN 19:41

JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR

THERE WAS A GARDEN IN THE PLACE WHERE JESUS HAD BEEN PUT TO DEATH AND IN IT THERE WAS A NEW TOMB WHERE NO ONE HAD EVER BEEN LAID


A NEW TOMB IN NEW EARTH
A FRESH FURROW TO PLANT THE SEED
A SEED THAT HAD SURVIVED THE WINTER’S SNOW
A GARDEN PLACE
WHERE MEN WALK IN THE TWILIGHT OF THE DAY
SEEKING RELIEF FROM THE HEAT OF THE DAY
SEEKING STRENGTH FOR THE MORROW
ALONE HE WENT
AT THE END
WITHOUT A FRIEND
STRUNG OUT LIKE WASH AGAINST THE SKY
AS IF
THE WASHING OF THEIR HANDS
WOULD PUT AN END TO HIM
BUT HE FELL TO EARTH
LIKE AUTUMN SEED
IN NEW TURNED SOIL
TOOK THE NIGHT
TOOK THE COLD
WOKE TO SUN
WOKE TO WARMTH
WOKE TO BIRTH
BY MAGDALENE’S TEARS
WHERE IS MY JESUS
WHERE IS MY LOVE

THERE WAS A DEATH
THE WAS A TOMB
