Isaiah 50:4-9
Give me the tongue of a teacher
That I may know how
To sustain the weary with a word
Open my ear
That I may listen
As those who are taught
Psalm 31
Be my rock of refuge
Solid
Dependable
Not hard
Not unfeeling
Be my strong fortress
Secure
Raised up
Not
Not isolating
Be my shelter
Covered
Protected
Not confining
to babying
Philippians 2:1-13
Encourage us O Christ
To work out our own salvation
With fear and trembling
Console us O Christ
As we work out our own salvation
With fear and trembling
Matthew 26:14 – 27:66 or Matthew 27:11-54
We are Pilate
Confounded, confused
Searching for popularity
Searching for innocence
We are Barrabas
Guilty, amused
Offered a way out
Willing to take release
We are the crowd
Excited, stirred
Caught in the moment
Unwilling to be different
We are the soldiers
Unleashed, aggressive
Under orders
Willing to get away with
We are Simon
Conscripted
In the wrong place at the wrong time
Lacking in choice
We are the bandits
Nailed, crucified
Dying a death
Taunting a fellow sufferer
We are Jesus
Abandoned, misunderstood
Crying with a loud voice
Dying a death
