about
This is a song I wrote for the Good Friday service at Christ Community. It's a song that walks from Gethsemane to the cross.
lyrics
WHEN DARKNESS REIGNS
Has it gone so far, and Oh, who could have known?
The crowds would press so hard, And now He cries alone
Torches pierce the night, Judas calls His name,
He stands in flickering light, His friends all run away
Will You leave Him now, bound and alone,
Will you run away?
And yet this is how He said it would go
In the hour when darkness reigns
Mockers point and laugh, they’re lying through their teeth
And oh, it’s a bloodbath, will He get no relief?
He’s carrying the cross on through the town,
His legs are giving way,
He’s paying the cost, He’s bearing it now,
In the hour when darkness reigns
The sky is black as coal, the rain falls like a flood,
The world has grown so cold, the only smell is blood
Father, where are you? Oh where have You gone?
Do You hear a word I say?
Is it really true? Am I all alone
In the hour when darkness reigns?
