Maundy Thursday (song)

[Note: Here is a song for Easter I did some years ago, from even before the copyright date below. Praise God for His love that He demonstrated by sending Christ Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners. And praise God that He rose again and is alive forevermore! And because He lives, we can live also. Happy Easter! Jesus lives! :-)]

"Maundy Thursday"
(parody of "Monday Monday" by The Mamas and The Papas; copyright by Nathan Ludwick 3/20/2008)
(John 3:16, John 14:6, Matthew 14:12-26, Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:14-23, John 13:26-30, John 13:33-38, John 14:28-31, Matthew 28:5-10)

Ba da Ba da da
Ba da Ba da da
Ba da Ba da da

Maundy Thursday (ba da ba da da)
Passover meal (ba da ba da da)
In the morning, You showed us all we would need
On Friday morning, Friday morning, (we) still didn’t believe
That (by) Sunday evening, You would still be here with me

Maundy Thursday, can’t touch Sunday
Sunday morning- at that time, it (just) turned out like You said
On Maundy Thursday, You gave me a warning of what was to be
On Friday’s closing, how could You leave and not take me?

Any other way (Any other way), Any other way
Any other way that You could find, yeah!
But with Olive Garden chums, But with Olive Garden chums
You can find Him crying, "Not my will, but Thine"

(Oh) Maundy Thursday (ba da ba da da)
Soaking bread to eat (ba da ba da da)
Disciples wondering, "What you do, go and do quickly"
For only 30 pieces of silver Judas I. betrayed Jesus C.
On Thursday evening, "You would trade silver for Me?"

Every other stray (Every other stray) Every other stray
Every other stray can repent and still be fine, yeah!
But the destruction-headed one, But the destruction-headed one
It’d be better if he had never been alive!

Maundy Thursday (ba da ba da da)
Soon it will be (ba da ba da da)
Friday morning, "I’ll give all to redeem the world to Me"
Come Sunday morning, Sunday morning, "I can guarantee"
"Stop all your weeping, I’ll have killed death eternally"

Any other way, Any other way
Any other way of reprieve that You can find, yeah!
But whenever Jesus comes, But whenever Jesus comes
You won’t be flying on His airline

Someday, Someday (ba da ba da da)
Best rush to pray (ba da ba a da)
God, de Son He (ba da ba da da)
He’ll return for us someday (ba da ba da da)
Oh, come the Son’s way - don’t throw it away (ba da ba da da)
Maundy Thursday - not just a portrait (ba da ba da da)
Oh, Maundy Thursday (ba da ba da da)
Oh, Maundy Thursday (ba da ba da da)
