PART ONE: THE WAY
Prepare the way for us. The time is now for us. Is he prepared for us,
now, now.
Prepare the way of the Lord.
PART TWO: THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM
And he began to teach them that the Son of man
must suffer many things, and be rejected by the
elders and the chief priests and the scribes.
and be killed, and after three days rise again.
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them,
The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men
and they shall kill him, and after that he is
killed, he shall rise the third day.
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man
shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto
the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
and shall deliver him to the Gentiles.
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him,
and shall kill him,
and the third day he shall rise again.
PART THREE: TRIAL AND ERROR
Are you the Son? Anointed one?
And will you answer them, I am?
The demon's recognize, The holy one.
Who do men say he is? (Can He be?)
Who can he be? (Can he be?) Can he be the one?
And he taught them (He knew) that he must suffer (He knew)
for all his strength and power. (Have you heard)
He is the Son(The Son). He is the one (The One)
He is the strength and power (Have you heard)
He is the preacher (The Son)The chosen teacher, (The One)
who works with wondrous power. He will forgive them,
As they echo. Who can this be?
It is no easy to understand
Why should be answer them. I am?
Beneath a crown of thorns. The start of life.
By leaving human form, (sent for us) defeated, (sent for us)
completed, (sent for us), defeated, (sent for us),completed (sent for
us),
Completed (sent for us) he answered,
"I am, I am".
PART FOUR: GALILEE
My Galilee, My Galilee, My Galilee
One day I will return to Galilee
One day I will return to Galilee
to Galilee, to Galilee, to Galilee.
