The Day That Jesus Died SAB
SAB and Piano. Tune: Huron Carol aka 'Twas In the Moon of Winter Time' For Passion Sunday/ Good Friday. About what happened the day Jesus died. Though the song ends on a positive note, it does not jump to the resurrection. Haunting melody and a
My "band" is a Macintosh Computer with a sequencer and instrument module (software) and a recording simulator called deck. But it is amazing what can be done with these things!
Story behind the song
In John's Gospel, Jesus' "glorification" happens on the cross. Too many Good Friday hymns/songs don't stop on Good Friday but go on to the resurrection. I wanted a Good Friday Song that would focus on the cross.
Lyrics
The Day that Jesus Died
Tune -'Twas in the Moon of Winter Time
Deep darkness fell upon the land the day that Jesus died.
His cry was heard by all on hand the day that Jesus died.
The trembling earth did quake and groan
In grief so deep it shattered stone.
Yes! The earth mourned that day.
Earth mourned and cried
The day that Jesus died,
Then all was silent on that hill the day that Jesus died.
The blustery wind was cold and chill the day that Jesus died.
The people turned t*ward home and bed
In silence. Not a word was said.
Everyone went their way
Empty inside.
The day that Jesus died.
But from our sins we were set free the day that Jesus died.
They were destroyed there on that tree the day that Jesus died.
His bitter anguish, pain and strife,
For us forgiveness, for us life.
Prayers of thanks we will pray.
Freed! Justified!
The day that Jesus died.
