Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Repent and believe the Good News.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Peter, put up your sword.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Love one another as I have loved you.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Forgive your enemies.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Wash one another’s feet.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Feed the hungry.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Give drink to the thirsty.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Shelter the homeless.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Take care of the sick.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Visit the imprisoned.”

Pierced and crucified
Because you cried,
“Proclaim Jubilee debt relief.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Repent and believe the Good News.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Put away your weapons.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Love one another as I have loved you.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Forgive your enemies.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Wash one another’s feet.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Feed the hungry.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Give drink to the thirsty.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Shelter the homeless.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Take care of the sick.”

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,

Risen from the dead
And sending forth the Spirit,
You still tell us,
“Visit the imprisoned.”

Remember,
“What you do to one another,
You do unto me.
You will die
And rise in me.”
