THE CHARGE OF THE DARK BRIGADE

 

The scroll of the seven seals

Rested in God's right hand

Until he bade his son

The Lion of Judah

To break the first seal

And the Lamb did so

And from the broken seal

Appeared a white horse

Bearing the conqueror

Carrying a bow,

And wearing a victor's crown

 

God then bade his son

The Lion of Judah

To break the second seal

And the Lamb did so

And from the broken seal

Appeared a red horse

Bearing the warrior

Carrying a sword

And wielding the power

To take peace from the world

 

God then bade his son

The Lion of Judah

To break the third seal

And the Lamb did so

And from the broken seal

Appeared a black horse

Bearing the bringer of famine

Carrying a set of scales

         

Finally, he bade his son

The Lion of Judah

To break the fourth seal

And the Lamb did so

And from the broken seal

Appeared a pale horse

Bearing a rider called death

LOVE OF GOD

Our God above loves us

So, we worship and adore him

His love sustains us all

OUT OF THE MOUTH’S OF BABES - CHILDISH GRACE

Catherine was having a dinner and some friends were invited

At the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said

“Would you say grace?” “I don't know what to say,” she replied 

“Just say what you hear Mummy say,” the husband then plied 

The girl bowed her head and said thinking she was on a winner

“Oh Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?”

THE SOURCE OF SPECIAL LOVE

God has always been

The source of special love

A perfect loving faith

That fits me like a glove

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (1973)

 

Jesus Christ Superstar is based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice Rock Opera of the same name, directed by Norman Jewison.

It tells the story of the final 6 days in the life of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) seen primarily through the troubled eyes of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson).

Being filmed entirely on location in Israel lends the film an authenticity and the anachronistic manner of the sets, with contemporary weapons on display, such as at the Temple Market work like a bridge spanning two thousand years.

The songs are memorable and well performed in particular by Ted Neeley (Jesus) Carl Anderson (Judas) Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene) Barry Dennen (Pontius Pilate) and Josh Mostel (King Herod)

It’s a must watch movie whether spiritually inclined or not.
