Lent // Week 6 // April 2-8

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

African-American spiritual // Arr. Greg Yoder, 2023

Vocals: Ebony Nicole

Let the same mind be in you

that was in Christ Jesus, who,

though he was in the form of God,

did not regard equality with God

as something to be exploited,

but emptied himself, taking the form

of a slave, being born

in human likeness. And being found in human form,

he humbled himself and became obedient

to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Therefore,

God also highly exalted him, and gave him the name that is above every name,

so that at the name of Jesus, so that at the name of Jesus

every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.

Lyrics: direct quotation of Philippians 2:5-11 (NRSV)
