When things aren’t going swimmingly
And skies don’t look so blue
Remember that the Lord’s still working
And that He isn’t through
Down in our hearts rock hard with sin
His grace is pouring through
To soften us till soft like clay
His hands can make us new
And put in place of brag and boast
A meek and gentle word
And instead of angry shouts
HIs praises will be heard
No, He’s not done and there’s a pile
Of things He’s changing still
But don't give up - hold on to Him
He is leading up the hill
To where we'll hear our Savior say
If we will just believe
And let go of all our past
It is finished! - Come with me!
When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

In the Wounds Doubt Disappeared In the garden at the dawn
In darkness doubt and tears
He called Mary first and then
To the others He appeared
But Thomas was not there
And said “I won’t believe
That Jesus is alive
Till I can touch his scars and see”
He kept doubting till the day
At his table Christ appeared
And called him come to touch His wounds
And in those wounds doubt disappeared

He Couldn’t Stay on the Cross
After the crown of thorns
And they ripped the robe off His back
And after the hammer and nails
When the lightening came down with a crack
While the life blood of Jesus poured out
From the wound where they pierced His side
The crowd stood around looking up at His face
Then Mary bowed in her grief as she cried
And by the law He couldn't stay after sunset
He must be buried by the end of the day
So - Joseph of Arimathea
Begged Pilate to take Him away
He couldn’t stay on the cross after nightfall
He must be laid in the dark of the tomb
Till He rose with the breath of the Spirit
When the angel would roll back the stone!
And Joseph bought a linen shroud and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.Mark 15:42-46ESVHe Couldn't Stay on the Cross by Peter Caligiuri
