Mark, in E Major

I saw their sin and piety
And how everyone strove to be
The highest in society
And seen with the nobility.

I came to serve them humbly
So patiently and lovingly
I showed them to live faithfully
And asked them all to follow me.

They questioned my authority
And awed at my ability
To answer all the Sadducee
And make known their hypocrisy

At Temple I preached openly
And yet while in Gethsemane
They came with clubs to arrest me.
Still I went with them willingly.

Their witnesses did not agree.
There was no real accuracy.
But still they shouted “Blasphemy!”
And Peter denied his loyalty.

Though Pilot asked to set me free
The crowd would not leave peaceably.
They chose Barabbas and not me;
A sinner for a deity.

They treated me so shamefully
With flying fists and mockery
They made it so I could not see
And shouted at me “prophecy!”

And when it was the hour of three
They set me up upon a tree.
So many said it could not be
That I could die so shamefully.

"Oh, why have you forsaken me,
My God?” I cried, and finally
I breathed my last.The tapestry,
Symbolized our new unity.


I came here so that you could be
Forgiven your delinquency
And ask you please to follow me.
Beloved, what’s it goanna be?


Lord, you show such great mercy
To accept my apology
And give me life abundantly
So I may live eternally.

Oh, Lord, I give my life to thee
And look for opportunity
To live a life unselfishly
And be a light for all to see!
