A new collection of hymns/songs is out today from Jubilate – I’ve contributed a set of words, but posting here the link to the whole collection, which includes songs from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. From the Jubilate website you can download the words, and also purchase lyric videos of individual songs for use in church, a songbook for if you have live musicians, reflective commentaries on the words, and even a CD of the whole album.
The whole collection: Journey to Resurrection
My song, with music by the wonderful Joel Payne: Drop, slow tears
As with all my Jubilate hymns, you’ll need to put this one on your CCLI return:
1 Drop, slow tears of anguish, sing of love unknown;
watch as in the garden Jesus weeps alone,
seeking strength to finish what he has begun:
“Through this cup of suffering let your will be done.”
2 Peter, at the fireside, weep your bitter tears;
give up to your Saviour all your shame and fears.
He will still forgive you, Christ who freely gave;
let him take your failures with him to the grave.
3 Shed your tears of sorrow: Christ hangs on the cross;
Mary, standing by him, weeps her love and loss.
See the blood and water, balm distilled from pain:
by his wounds he heals us, bringing life again.
4 Wipe our eyes, O Saviour, in the darkest night;
as we long to see you in the dawning light.
When the world feels broken, trapped behind a stone,
raise us up, and teach us songs of love made known.
