Good Friday Service

tonight I'm listening
to the words, closing
my eyes so I can see
what's going on
waiting for dim lights
and candles lit
and remembering
when someone stood
and whispered Oh Jesus
what they do to you

after the last hymn
we walk out
into the street

silent

Sometimes Jesus
stays behind

Out service ended with the spiritual
"Were You there When They Crucified My Lord"
Amazing how the words release such profound emotion when sung.

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 ?
