Il y eut un jeune homme qui naquit dans un village obscur.
Enfant d’une paysanne, il grandit dans un autre village.
Il travailla dans un atelier de menuiserie jusqu’à l’âge de trente ans.
Après quoi il fut prédicateur itinérant pendant trois ans.
Il n’écrivit jamais de livre.
Il ne remplit jamais de fonction.
Il ne posséda jamais de maison.
Il n’eut jamais d’enfants.
Il n’alla jamais à l’université.
Il ne voyagea jamais à plus de 300 kilomètre de la place où il fut né.
Il ne fit aucune des choses que l’on associe généralement à la grandeur.
Il ne possédait pas de lettres de créances, sauf lui-même.
Quand il était encore jeune homme, le courant de l’opinion publique se tourna contre lui.
Ses amis s’enfuirent.
On le livra à ses ennemis.
Il a dû subir la moquerie pendant un procès.
Il fut cloué à une croix entre deux brigands.
Pendant qu’il mourrait, ses bourreaux tirèrent au sort pour savoir à qui iraient
les seuls biens qu’il possédait au monde : ses vêtements.
Quand il fut mort, ses amis déposèrent son corps dans un sépulcre emprunté.
2000 ans plus tard…
Vingt siècles se sont écoulés,
et aujourd’hui il est le personnage central de l’espèce humaine.
Toutes les armées qui ont marché, et toutes les marines qui ont parcouru les mers
et tous les parlements qui ont délibéré et tous les rois qui ont régné,
pris dans leur ensemble, n’ont jamais affecté la vie de l’homme sur cette terre
comme a pu le faire la vie solitaire de cet homme.

07. Carry My Cross
Wherever You Are by Third Day
Lyrics:
As long as I remember I’ve been walking through the wilderness Praying to the Father And waiting for my time I’ve come here with a mission And soon I’ll give my life for this world
I’m praying in the garden And I’m looking for a miracle I find the journey hard but It’s the reason I was born Can this cup be passed on Lord, I pray your will be done In this world
So I’ll carry my cross And I’ll carry the shame To the end of the road Through the struggle and pain And I’ll do it for love No, it won’t be in vain Yes, I’ll carry my cross And I’ll carry the shame
I feel like I’m alone here And I’m treated like a criminal The time has come for me now Even though I’ve done no wrong Father, please forgive them They know not what they’ve done In this world
Three more days and I’ll be coming back again Three more days and I’ll be coming back again
Behind the Song: 'We all have crosses to carry. Maybe it's the guilt of sin. Maybe it's a loss or temptation. Maybe it's a personal or emotional affliction. The weight of those burdens can keep us paralyzed. Jesus carries them for us. But that's not all. Though we will always have struggles, God gives us not just another burden. God gives us a yolk that is light. We can side up with His kingdom and be a part of the incredible tale of human history with a unique and meaningful purpose.' - Tai Anderson (Third Day)
06. Thief
Third Day by Third Day
Lyrics:
I am a thief, I am a murderer Walking up this lonely hill What have I done? I don't remember No one knows just how I feel and I know that my time is coming soon. It's been so long. Oh, such a long time Since I've lived with peace and rest Now I am here, my destination guess things work for the best and I know that my time is coming soon Who is this man? This man beside me They call the King of the Jews They don't believe that He's the Messiah But, somehow I know it's true. And they laugh at Him in mockery, and beat Him till he bleeds They nail Him to the rugged cross, and raise Him, they raise Him up next to me My time has come, I'm slowly fading I deserve what I receive Jesus when You are in Your kingdom Could You please remember me and He looks at me still holding on the tears fall from His eyes He says I tell the truth Today, you will live with Me in paradise and I know that my time is coming soon and I know paradise is coming soon.
