As I was reading the gospel accounts of the days leading up to the crucifixion, something caught my eye. On the night of the Last Supper, after Jesus broke the bread and shared the wine, they did one more thing before heading out to their prayer retreat. They sang.

I can’t imagine that moment. Jesus just told the disciples He was going to suffer and die, Judas got called out as the betrayer, and they just finished their last meal together. What song could possibly do that moment justice?

As I write this I’m listening to the singers practice the closing song of the Easter production. I think the song of the disciples would have sounded something like this.

This weekend will be an amazing celebration.
