Holy Week 2016: the first rock band
Join us during Holy Week we reflect on what it is to arise from the sorrow and darkness of Good Friday and into the light of Easter Day.
by Fred Drummond, director of prayer, Evangelical Alliance, and national director Evangelical Alliance Scotland
Stones get the amps plucked in
Boulders grab drums
Waterfalls give voice
Trees clap hands
Bushes, buds and blossoms shout
Angels, saints redeemed sinners sing
The King has come
The King has come
No time for quiet
No reserve here
No hands in pockets
No muted whispers
All creation give voice, blast it out
Celebrate
Fill the air
Shake the ground
Dance for joy
The King has come
The King has come
To us
Prayer
Lord, you have come. Into our joy and sorrow.
You have come into our pain and suffering
You have come into our small successes and failures
Jesus, you are near in my huge dreams and deepest fears.
The King has come.
Love is here.
Now I am never alone.
Never abandoned.
Sometimes bruised but never broken.
King Jesus, blessed are you.
You alone are worthy of my adoration
To you belongs all praise.
You have come, everything has changed.
Help me focus my life on you today.
Make me aware of your presence and attentive to your voice.
Fill my heart with praise.
In Jesus' name
Amen
