Roles
What is it like to be a carpenter
What is it like to be a carpenter
A shepherd, a teacher, and a healer
In any one of these roles, He is exemplar
You can trust your soul with this leader
What is it like to be a preacher or lawyer
Who above all needs to have the last word?
These were they who went after our Savior
In this trial they controlled what was said and heard
The illegal trial of one, Jesus Christ
Ultimately fulfilled our Father's plan
For His life was required to pay the price
To know and atone for every man
Fallible?
Fallible, are you looking for "kind" justice?
When you've labeled an enemy to the laws of the land?
Ultimately who can you turn to and trust?
In your trial, who will understand?
The Lord will not be passive
Or scorn, and keep you at length
His compassion is massive!
He offers courage and strength!
Walk With HIM
Return to our atoning Savior
Repent. Bring with you all of your pain
Take courage. You are safe, for
Where you've been, you won't have to explain
Eyes to See

Eyes to See
Train your eyes to see
The Savior all around
His light is beauty
And love to be found

Originality in Divinity
It is strangely encouraging
To see your own uniqueness in your kin
And see them, too, engaging
In what builds good character within
To see your own uniqueness in your kin
And see them, too, engaging
In what builds good character within
Ultimately, each fine quality
Defines us, to who we truly are-
God's own, born with ability
With moral compass, as our star

Each time you witness greatness
This proves that God is real
Develop your own goodness
His light inside you'll feel

Importance
We are each important
With unique roles to play
Evidence of God's plan
Shines through what we do and say
Perfect Record
There's been naught a perfect record
During all the days of man
Save Jesus Christ, our Lord
Who fulfilled our Father's plan
During all the days of man
Save Jesus Christ, our Lord
Who fulfilled our Father's plan
Reposed in the heart of Jesus
Is a deep and abiding love
Which can dwell within each of us
If we seek it from Heaven above
Ears to Hear
Never was He known
To turn a deaf ear
Tenderness was shown
To bring the Father near
True to His Word
Jesus gave to the world
An eternal heritage.
He lived true to His word.
Always as the Father said
An eternal heritage.
He lived true to His word.
Always as the Father said
Word of Mouth
Hundreds of shocked Jews
Quickly spread the news
A life had been restored
By Jesus Christ our Lord
Yes, Lazarus did rise
From the tomb of death
He opened up his eyes
And took again life's breath
And then,
The Players
The players in Christ's demise
Should not come by surprise
For each had something to gain
Still, for them, He suffered in pain
Should not come by surprise
For each had something to gain
Still, for them, He suffered in pain
Played a Fool
More than anyone, Judas knew
What it meant to be played a fool
The weight of his payoff, how it grew
For the sting of remorse is cruel
What it meant to be played a fool
The weight of his payoff, how it grew
For the sting of remorse is cruel
The Dastardly Deed
The dastardly deed of betrayalManifested through putrescent lips
The bitter kiss was evil... vile
As it foreshadowed scourges and whips
Hardened Eyes
Annas' eyes
Were more than green with envy
They hardened with lies
To rid Jesus, his enemy.
Were more than green with envy
They hardened with lies
To rid Jesus, his enemy.
Monopoly or Thievery?
Because Annas had full monopoly
Of the temple money exchange
Tears of rage poured down his face
When Jesus stirred up all the change
Of the temple money exchange
Tears of rage poured down his face
When Jesus stirred up all the change
No treasurer would let this go!
Thirty pieces were quickly taken
His pockets lined with lucre
Though his honor was forsaken
Thirty pieces were quickly taken
His pockets lined with lucre
Though his honor was forsaken
Something churned in Judas
As he took Annas' side
He did not truly feel like Jesus,
That thieves were found inside!

False Piety
They, with false piety,
Wrote the Lord off
The elite Pharisees,
Were quick to scoff
Nihilistic
The nihilistic Sadducees
Took the law unto themselves
And afflicted abuses
As it was "their way" or else
Wrote the Lord off

The Garden of Gethsemane
The silent dial of destiny
Clearly turned towards the hour
When He would suffer in agony
And prove pure love and power
Each of us turned that dial
On this burdensome clock
Our souls upon Him to pile
And prove Him as our rock
The fluid of fate hung
His destiny to know
Completely He was wrung
His blood to spill and flow
Complicity
Their hearts were as cold,As their heads were hard.
Their plots became bold,
To inflict more harm.
Entrapment
With equal determination
They sought to entrap Him
To inflict humiliation
And make sure His death happened
Impartial
In be impartial and fair
One must use self-restraint
And judge the evil with care
For all bad choices taint
One must use self-restraint
And judge the evil with care
For all bad choices taint
No man is qualified to sit
As a judge in a matter
That is personal to him
Yes, he must defer than bias gather
Two Witness
If a witness is true
It can be verified
To the last detail
Lest the innocent be tried
Defense
The right to a lawyer
To defend your case
Was refused our Savior
A true spit in the face
Arrangements
Prior to this trial of Jesus
They should have invited two "of their own"
Who loved Him (Nicodemus
And Joseph of Arimathea), but no hope was shown
They should have invited two "of their own"
Who loved Him (Nicodemus
And Joseph of Arimathea), but no hope was shown
For, only those who were sure to vote
Against the Lord to be tried
Were awoken that night with a note
So He would be crucified
Jurisdiction
With pretense, sure to flatter
The sought law filled Sanhedrin court
They could only try religious matters
And, of lawbreakers, they must report
The power to impose
A penalty of death
Was not given to those
Who could aid or abet
Ignoring Provisions
The great Sanhedrin
Could not meet or try at night
On a Friday, even
Or during a Feast of light
Blood is thicker than water
This is true of the wealthy elite
To rub shoulders with each other
Oft morals will take a back seat
Scapegoat
Being more than newsworthy
This trial is still spoken of, today
How could this world be
So evil, to make innocence pay?
Venom
They became devoid of common decency
As the deadly case was framed against Him
So poisoned with hate they could not see
He was the cure to what venom spread within them
Appeal
Had He been a Roman
He could have fought for an appeal
These weren't fair times, then
So freely did they kill
As the deadly case was framed against Him
So poisoned with hate they could not see
He was the cure to what venom spread within them
Appeal
Had He been a Roman

These weren't fair times, then

Mob Mentality
The inciteful crowd
Of unruly ingrates
Inhumanely howled
Building off each other's hates
Scourging
The sentence of scourging once complete
Left the crowd dissatisfied
They wanted to mock Him at His feet
As He was being crucified
But, Jesus as the Way
The Truth and the Light
For their sins, He would pay
And prove good is right
Of unruly ingrates
Inhumanely howled
Building off each other's hates
Scourging
The sentence of scourging once complete
Left the crowd dissatisfied
They wanted to mock Him at His feet
As He was being crucified
But, Jesus as the Way
The Truth and the Light
For their sins, He would pay
And prove good is right
Partake
Eat the flesh
Of Jesus the Christ
And confess
He is truth and light
Drink the blood
Of the living Christ
Feel His love
Flow within with life
Irony
Every one of us was a debtorIrony
Set for imprisonment
Were it not for our Deliverer,
His grace, and atonement!
He perfectly can refine us
To be finished and complete
To prepare us for the Highest-
Our Heavenly Parents to meet
Eternal
To anything right
Not realized in life
Accept adjournal
For the eternal
eternal hope
eternal life
eternal justice
eternal peace
eternal love
