http://www.alc1.org Practicing the music and the acting for weeks before Easter  (All the songs were copied to CDs to make it easier!) The choir fasted and prayed for The Lord to have His way "Watch the Lamb" was the title of our Passion Play With just a few songs and acts the Greatest Story Ever is shown Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead: seeds of faith were sown A great revival of excited people shouted Hosannas! in the streets The Lord Jesus is The Resurrection they've come to meet Then a man and his 2 small sons go to Jerusalem They've come to offer a sacrifice for sin, a lamb But when they arrive there is an angry mob They cried out to crucify Jesus (The Son of God) An angry Roman soldier pointed to the man with his sword That man was forced to carry the cross for The Lord Then all watched as they drove nails in Jesus' feet and hands Then that man simply said to his 2 sons: Watch the Lamb        Behold The Lamb who was slain to take on all our sin        Behold The Lamb whose blood gives us a second chance We sing praises and hallelujahs because Jesus lives--He lives! He is the One True Living God who gives--Jesus lives--He lives! Hallelujahs are sung:  The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth! Jesus is the express image of God who never faints! What can you give?

¹   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 
       and the Word was God.
...
¹⁴   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, 
       the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Revelation 19
[1] And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, 
           Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
[2] For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore,  which did 
           corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
[3] And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
[4] And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God 
            that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
[5] And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye 
           that fear him, both small and great.
[6] And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and 
           as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
[7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, 
           and his wife hath made herself ready.
[8] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: 
           for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
[9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of 
           the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
[10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy 
          fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: 
           for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
[11] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called 
          Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name 
           written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, 
           white and clean.
[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he 
            shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness 
              and wrath of Almighty God.
[16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, 
           KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the 
           fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the 
             supper of the great God;
[18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, 
           and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free 
               and bond, both small and great.
[19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make 
           war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
[20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, 
          with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped 
           his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded 
          out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
