his father carving wood – he'd have made good
Tables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus bestHe'd have caused nobody harm – no-one alarmListen Jesus do you care for your race?Don't you see we must keep in our place?We are occupied – have you forgotten how put down we are?I'm frightened by the crowdFor we are getting much too loudAnd they'll crush us if we go too farListen Jesus to the warning I givePlease remember that I want us to liveBut it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hourAll your followers are blindToo much heaven on their mindsIt was beautiful but now it's sourYes it's all gone sourWhat's the buzz. / Strange thing, Mystifying.
Bethany, Friday Night
APOSTLESWhat's the buzz? Tell me, what's happening?JESUSWhy should you want to know?Don't you mind about the future,Don't you try to think aheadSave tomorrow for tomorrow,Think about today insteadAPOSTLESWhat's the buzz? Tell me what's happening?JESUSI could give you facts and figures -I could give you plans and forecastsEven tell you where I'm going -APOSTLESWhen do we ride into Jerusalem?JESUSWhy should you want to know?Why are you obsessed with fightingTimes and fates you can't defy?If you knew the path we're ridingYou'd understand it less than IAPOSTLESWhat's the buzz? Tell me what's happeningMARY MAGDALENELet me try to cool down your face a bitJESUSThat feels nice, so nice...Mary that is good -While you prattle through your supper – Where and when and who and howShe alone has tried to give meWhat I need right here and nowAPOSTLESWhat's the buzz? Tell me what's happening?JUDASIt seems to me a strange thing, mystifyingThat a man like you can waste his time on women of her kindYes, I can understand that she amusesBut to let her stroke you, kiss your hair, is hardly in your lineIt's not that I object to her professionBut she doesn't fit in well with that you teach and sayIt doesn't help us if you're inconsistentThey only need a small excuse to put us all awayJESUSWho are you to criticise her?
