THE C WORD
WHEN PILATE
FIRST SAID THE C WORD
TO YOU JESUS
DID YOU STEP BACK
BLINK
PRAY FOR COURAGE
DID THE WORLD GO AWAY FOR AN INSTANT
SAYING YES LORD JESUS
ENDEARS YOU TO MY HEART
IN OUR MUTUAL PASSIONS
I FIND MUCH THAT IS SIMILAR
STRUGGLING UP YOUR HILL
YOU FELL OFTEN
STRUGGLING UP MY HILL
I FIND MANY WEAK TIMES
YOU HAD SIMON
I HAVE THE DOCTOR
YOU HAD THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM
I HAVE THE NURSES
WHO HAVE PUT AWAY THEIR WAILING RAGS
TO BECOME TRUE PROFESSIONALS
A TRIBUTE TO YOU
WHO RAISED THE STATUS OF WOMEN
BY BEING BORN

THEREBY SAYING
THAT ALL CREATION IS BEAUTIFUL
THEREFORE EQUAL ON THE HILLTOP
YOU DESTROYED THE CANCER OF…
THERE I'VE SAID THE WORD
YOU DESTROYED THE CANCER OF MY SIN
YOU SET ME FREE
TO LIVE A HOLY AND A WHOLLY LIFE
ON MY HILLTOP
LET ME SAY WITH YOU
FATHER IT IS FINISHED
CURED OR AT LEAST IN REMISSION
THEN WE SHALL WALK
OUR EASTER MORNINGS
SIDE BY SIDE
FRIENDS AS ALWAYS
WE HAVE WALKED
THROUGH THE DARK PORTAL
FOUND SUN SHINE
BUT FIRST
WHEN PILATE SAID THE C WORD TO YOU JESUS
DID YOU STEP BACK
BLINK
PRAY FOR COURAGE
DID THE WORLD GO AWAY FOR AN INSTANT
SAYING YES LORD JESUS
ENDEARS YOU TO MY HEART
BECAUSE SO DID I
