I know, Lynn, what you mean about Ted Neeley - I remember when the movie came out, my sister and I were conflicted because "Jesus" was so cute, lol! Hey, I was 12, lol!

Only a couple more days!!!
Happy Easter everyone. :)
I found this - and it's amazing. A woman from PEI got the rights from Leonard Cohen to redo the words to Hallelujah to reflect Easter. It's just beautiful!

A crown of thorns placed on his head
He knew that He would soon be dead
He said "did you forget me, Father, did you?"
They nailed him to a wooden cross
Soon all the world would feel the loss
Of Christ, the King, before us
Hallelujah
He hung his head and prepared to die
Then lifted his face up to the sky
Said "I am coming home now, father, to you."
A reed, which held his final sip
Was gently lifted to His lips
He drank his last and gave his soul to
Glory
The soldier who had used his sword
To pierce the body of our Lord
Said "Truly this was Jesus Christ, our Savior"
He looked with fear upon his sword
Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
Fell to his knees crying
"Hallelujah!"
Took from His head, the thorny crown
And wrapped Him in a linen gown
And laid Him down to rest inside the tomb
The holes in his hands, His feet, His side
Now in our hearts we know He died
To save us from ourselves oh
Hallelujah!
Three days went by, again they came
To move the stone, to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing, Hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen
HALLELUJAH!
I've found this thread very encouraging and hope that each of you were blessed during this time of reflection
