Borrowed this from Ang's blog (hope you don't mind!) which she got from here.
Last year my Good Friday post included the last verse of When I survey the wondrous cross, which I played on my flute. I find that somehow, the words conveyed with music really help to speak the heart, if that makes sense.
This morning, we were blessed with glorious sun as we walked the march of witness around my town with the cross and visited all the churches in the area (the fellowship of churches) ending in a united service. Then a beautiful intimate, quiet meditation at 2pm back at the church, at the foot of the cross.
This year, not being able to upload anything (disaster of camera and all recording devices left at school), I wanted to share another song which moves me on Good Friday, At the foot of the cross by Derek Bond (1991), yet only two videos on Youtube, both not quite suitable. So I leave you with his lyrics:
At the foot of the cross
I can hardly take it in
That the king of all creation
Was dying for my sin.
Oh the pain and suffering
From the thorns that pierced your head
And the hardness of my sinful heart
That left you there for dead.
And oh what mercy I have found
On the Cross of Calvary
I will never know your loneliness
All on account of me
I will bow my knee before your throne for your love has set me free
I will give my life to you dear Lord, and praise your najesty
And praise your majesty.
It is finished.
