(John 18 : 38) The "C" Word



WHEN PILATE

FIRST SAID THE C WORD

TO YOU JESUS



DID YOU STEP BACK

BLINK

PRAY FOR COURAGE

DID THE WORLD GO AWAY FOR AN INSTANT



SAYING YES LORD JESUS

ENDEARS YOU TO MY HEART



IN OUR MUTUAL PASSIONS

I FIND MUCH THAT IS SIMILAR



STRUGGLING UP YOUR HILL

YOU FELL OFTEN



STRUGGLING UP MY HILL

I FIND MANY WEAK TIMES



YOU HAD SIMON

I HAVE THE DOCTOR



YOU HAD THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM

I HAVE THE NURSES

WHO HAVE PUT AWAY THEIR WAILING RAGS

AND BECOME TRUE PROFESSIONALS



A TRIBUTE TO YOU

WHO RAISED THE STATUS OF WOMEN

BY BEING BORN



AND THEREBY SAYING

THAT ALL CREATION IS BEAUTIFUL

AND THEREFORE EQUAL



AND ON THE HILLTOP

YOU DESTROYED THE CANCER OF…

THERE I'VE SAID THE WORD

YOU DESTROYED THE CANCER OF MY SIN

YOU SET ME FREE

TO LIVE A HOLY AND A WHOLLY LIFE



AND ON MY HILLTOP

LET ME SAY WITH YOU

FATHER IT IS FINISHED

CURED OR AT LEAST IN REMISSION



AND WE SHALL WALK

OUR EASTER MORNINGS

SIDE BY SIDE



FRIENDS AS ALWAYS

WE HAVE WALKED

THROUGH THE DARK PORTAL

AND FOUND SUN SHINE





BUT FIRST

WHEN PILATE SAID THE C WORD TO YOU JESUS

DID YOU STEP BACK

BLINK

PRAY FOR COURAGE

DID THE WORLD GO AWAY FOR AN INSTANT



SAYING YES LORD JESUS

ENDEARS YOU TO MY HEART

BECAUSE SO DID I
