Today is not that day; a Good Friday liturgy
April 22nd, 2011
One day we will share lives with those who will stand with us in our hour of need
Today is not that day
One day there will be relief from our stress and fears
Today is not that day
Alone
Plead
Tears
Sweat
Blood
One day there may be trust, friends who will not betray us
Today is not that day
One day there may be peace and not violence
Today is not that day
Push
Shove
Strike
Confused
Capture
One day there will be fairness and justice
Today is not that day
One day there will be honor and respect
Today is not that day
Shout
Jeer
Ridicule
Pain
Pain!
One day they will lift me up,
but not in this way
One day they will reach for me,
but not in this way
Beaten
Bruised
Wounded
Pierced
Crushed
One day this suffering will end
Today is not that day
One day you will hold me again
Today is not that day
Thirst
Tired
Why?
Forsaken
Death
One day there will be love, joy, peace.
Life.
Today is not that day
