Holy Week

Have a Blessed Holy Week everyone! Here's a song my choir sang today:

My God, My God, Why Have You Abandoned Me?
Jeremy Young

All who see me laugh at me,
they make fun of me,
they shake their heads and say:
"He relied on God?
Let his God save him!
Let God rescue him,
if God loves him!"

My God, My God
Why have you abandoned me?

I look around,
I see dogs,
I see shadowy figures
coming close to me!
They pierce my hands,
and my feet.
I can count all my bones!

My God, My God
Why have you abandoned me?

I see them taking all my clothes,
they even throw dice for them!
But you, oh God,
I feel you near!
Please God, come quickly!
Please God, help me.

My God, My God
Why have you abandoned me?

I will shout you name to my brothers and sisters!
In front of everyone I will sing your praises!
All you who stand in awe of God,
all you who love God,
all you who are descendants in faith,
give glory to God!
