HAGGADAH.

We will remember, we will remember

We hunger in our souls.

We remember the scars                                            

Let us recall the thirst

Lord we remember the nails and thorns.

 Walk us across Jerusalem O God                               

Let us look back at our heritage .                                  

 Send us O God your Divine guidance

Have pity on us when we stray.           

 It was I Lord!                                               

O God, Jehovah

Do not hold it against me

The nails, the cross, the thorns

Do not hold it against me.

 I am weary my God                           

My feet are tired

My shoulder heavy

Hear me from your high place

And answer me

For I faint.      

 In the dark, in the deep darkness                               

We ate bitter herbs and heavy bread

Broken as a reminder, though we knew you not,

Broken as a reminder, this heavy bread.

 In the dark, dark darkness we wept.

A journey, long and pitiful, but we

pursued.

We came to a land you promised

Still in the dark, as we knew you not.

 

Go ye and prepare me a room                                      

Follow him with the water jug

He knows my needs.

 My God we are not worthy

My God we are not worthy                                          

My God though we are unworthy

Give us comfort.

This is my body                                          

Broken for you. Eat.

My blood, spilled, spilled for

your ransom.

 No Lord, stay with us

Never Lord will I leave you                        

I’ll die first, than abandon you

My Lord and my God!

 

Thy will be done.

Abba hear my plea                           

Do not abandon me in this hour

I fear.        I fear.    I fear greatly

Could you, would you take this away O God?

I fear greatly.

My time is at hand the sword is drawn

Your power will reign

Your Kingdom will come

But O God, I fear!

I fear!

Stay your hand O my Father

Save me!

I thirst!

 Your light covers me

My strength renewed, my purpose accepted

Thy will be done.

Ministering Angels come prepare me

Wash me bathe me in His Holy Light.

Your children are sleep; see them as they sleep,

be with them in this hour, ten thousand, be with them.

They are weak oh my God. 

 

He comes my Father with a kiss

Your son betrayed with a kiss.                        

I go.

 

 Take him

Seize him                                           

Arrest him                                        

It is he!  

King of the Jews, It is He!                                          

 

Speak, Speak, Speak

King of the Jews

Your subjects await your pleasure.               

Give him his crown and robe

See him standing majestic.

 Speak, O King and save yourself

I command you, call upon your armies and

Prove your innocence        

Jesus, Rabbi

Save yourself.

 Can a God bleed?

Can a God be cast down to the ground?

Is a God too weak to carry a tree?                        

Jesus! King Jesus!                                                   

What God are you?

If you are God, tell me                                             

Let me help you.

Do not just look at me

Answer me, for I believe you.

 

Then let it be written,                       

Take him away.

Take him away

Away with him and crucify him

Crucify him.

 

 Golgotha is a hill of pain                           

A place of no mercy

A killing field.

Whose man are you now?

Where are your friends?

Where is the crowd?

My Jesus my friend

I have failed you.

 Save me O God

Forgive me

I said I knew you not          

O God of my salvation

Slay me instead, for He, He  

Is the true Lamb.

Lamb of God who takes away all sin

Have mercy on me

Have mercy on me

 

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

He has been faithful

Faithful to me

Living God you have come back                      

To claim me,

The ugly grave could not hold you

Death paled at the sight of you

Angels bowed at your feet.

Everlasting God

Raboni, Redeem me.

 

Remember, we will remember

We hunger after righteousness

Divine redeemer                                                              

Recall your promises and bless us.

Grant us your Grace

O living eternal God,

Make us one people.

                    END.

As we remember the first Passover, may we be reminded of the beauty of God’s love and how He delivered us from destruction, inspite of ourselves.  Shalom.  Peace be unto you.
