We Are People On A Journey
© 2008 Words and Music by Gregg DeMey
We are people on a journey
Following where the Master walks
We are people on a journey
In the shadow of the cross
What compels the face of Jesus
Who protects our faithful guide
He who treads the road of service
Christ the Lord the crucified
We are people on a journey
Taking up the cross of Christ
We are people on a journey
Moving on from death to life
We release the sin that tangled
We relinquish all acclaim
We receive the suff'ring Savior
He our glory wealth and fame
We are people on a journey
To the table of the Lord
We are people on a journey
Fed by water and the Word
We remember we remember
How you washed disciples' feet
We remember on the last night
Gifts of wine and bread to eat
We are people on a journey
Rising up in life reborn
We are people on a journey
Speaking peace accepting scorn
We are walking toward a homeland
To a myst'ry yet unknown
To a kingdom coming quickly
To the light of God's own throne
PALM SUNDAY
Scripture Passage: Mark 11:1-11a (NRSVCE)
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and
Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you
enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever
ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it
and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a
doorway. As they untied it,
5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying
that colt?”
6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them
go.
7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it,
he sat on it.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread
branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and
those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He
looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went
out to Bethany with the Twelve.

Scripture Passage: John 12:1-8 (NRSVCE)
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of
Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was
one of those at the table with him.
3 Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed
Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with
the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to
betray him), said,
5 “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the
money given to the poor?”
6 (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he
was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was
put into it.)
7 Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep
it for the day of my burial.
8 You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have
me.”

FeryalHOLY TUESDAY
Scripture Passage: Mark 11:12-19 (NRSVCE)
12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was
hungry.
13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether
perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found
nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his
disciples heard it.
15 Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and
began to drive out those who were selling and those who were
buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money
changers and the seats of those who sold doves;
16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the
temple.
17 He was teaching and saying, “Is it not written,
‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?
But you have made it a den of robbers.”
18 And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept
looking for a way to kill him; for they were afraid of him, because
the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching.
19 And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the
city.

Scripture Passage: Matthew 26:1-5, 14-16 (NRSVCE)
1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his
disciples,
2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son
of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the
palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
5 But they said, “Not during the festival, or there may be a riot
among the people.”
…
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the
chief priests
15 and said, “What will you give me if I betray him to you?” They paid
him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to
betray him.

Scripture Passage: John 13:2-15 (NRSVCE)
2 The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon
Iscariot to betray him. And during supper
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he had come from God and was going to God,
4 got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel
around himself.
5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’
feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to
wash my feet?”
7 Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later
you will understand.”
8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered,
“Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.”
9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands
and my head!”
10 Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash,
except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though
not all of you.”
11 For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not
all of you are clean.”
12 After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had
returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have
done to you?
13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what
I am.
14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also
ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have
done to you.

My king is the servant of all
My king is the servant of all
He humbly kneels and washes our feet
My king is the slave of us all
My king is acquainted with grief
My king is acquainted with grief
He won't recoil when in sorrow I weep
My king is acquainted with grief
My king has got scars on his hands
My king has got scars on his hands
My Lord my God I know who you are
I know by the scars on your hands
My king has got scars on his hands
My king has got scars on his hands
His risen body forever marked
My king has got scars on his hands

GOOD FRIDAY
Scripture Passage: Matthew 27:27-31 (NRSVCE)
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him.
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
29 and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and
knelt before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to
crucify him.

© 2000 Words and Music by Chris Tomlin, J. D. Walt, Jesse Reeves, Lowell Mason and Isaac Watts
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from his head his hands his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die and find
That I may truly live
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace
Draw near and bless your name
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
