Song writer and musician Steve Bell has several beautiful posts for this holy weekend that I thought you might like to be aware of
This one for Good Friday features the song Gone is the Light
Gone is the Light
Music and lyric by Gord Johnson
appears on Steve Bell’s Devotion album (see below)
Into the darkness we must go
Gone, gone is the light
Into the darkness we must go
Gone, gone is the light
Jesus remember me
When you enter your Kingdom
Jesus remember me
When your kingdom comes
Father forgive them
They know not what they do
Father forgive them
They know not what they do
Into the darkness we must go
Gone, gone is the light
Into the darkness we must go
Gone gone is the light
And this one for Easter Sunday features another beautiful song Was It a Morning Like This.
Was it a Morning Like This | Jim Croegaert
Was it a morning like this
When the sun still hid from Jerusalem
And Mary rose from her bed
To tend the Lord she thought was dead
Was it a morning like this
When Mary walked down from Jerusalem
And two angels stood at the tomb
Bearers of news she would hear soon
chorus:
Did the grass sing
Did the earth rejoice to feel you again
Over and over like a trumpet underground
Did the earth seem to pound He is risen!
Over and over like in a never ending round
He is risen! Alleluia!
Was it a morning like this
When Peter and John ran from Jerusalem
And as they raced for the tomb
Beneath their feet was there a tune
