II. Behold JerusalemSandra Van Cleve, contralto & chorus“Behold, Jerusalem. Rejoice, Jerusalem –Your King is coming to you lowly and riding on a colt.”He entered Jerusalem on a donkey’s foal, a youngling, and the multitudes testified:Spread the palms and branches everywhere.Let rejoicing fill the air.Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! (Hosanna = Save us now.)Did you see the works of the Man? Did you see that miracle?A lame man walks, A blind man sees, a leper cured of his disease.Did you hear Him speak the Scriptures plain? The Truth he speaks brings clarity:All demons flee, He made a dead girl rise, a mother cured of infirmity.

Spread the palms and branches everywhere.Let rejoicing fill the air. Hosanna! Hosanna!

III. Oh JerusalemSandra Van CleveAnd as he drew near, He saw the city and wept.Jesus: Mitchell Hutchins, tenorOh, Jerusalem! Oh, Jerusalem!Why? Why? Why? Why won’t you see?I cleansed the temple of gluttony and You just let them back in.God’s house awash with this leprosy and you still bathing in sin…Oh, Jerusalem! Oh, Jerusalem!Why? Why? Why? Why won’t you see?Your foes shall soon surround you and you’ll be forced to bow low.No stone shall remain undisturbed; there will be nowhere to go.

Oh, Jerusalem! Oh, Jerusalem!Why? Why? Why? Why won’t you see?Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? IV. The Money ChangersRhiannon O’Brien & Anissa Lubecke, sopranos

And He went to the templeAnd cast out the money-changers:ChorusSheckel, Stater, Drachma, Denarius, Quadrans, Leptons,Daric, Assarius. (currency from Biblical times)A dove for a blessing, a lamb for a prayer, slaughter them, quarter them –

Judas: Steve Johnson, baritoneWhat are you doing? This is expensive!What are you doing?This could be sold and we could feed so many more.

JesusWho came to believe in You. You do what you doTell me this isn’t true…? Your task you must pursueDon’t make me do it… God’s will be done.Don’t make me do it… God’s will be done.Don’t make me… Go on.Don’t make me… Go on.Don’t make me… Go on.God’s will be done!WomenLet this oil be my offering – make of it, what You will.Let this oil be my offering – let it ease every ill.Oh, my Lord You are worthy of all my devotion.So, let this oil bring you comfort – Let your woes be still.Let it ease every ill. Make of it what You will.

One Woman He washed His followers’ feet.Chorus (Men)The Scriptures recorded:Chorus (Women)They broke bread, they drank wine and listened once more…JesusAs you do this, You take me in. Do this and be relieved of your sin.Narrator: Jim Hicks, tenorAs Judas left.Oh, my Lord…Oh, my Lord…

Forgiveness in the air. Smell it everywhere –It perfumes the air and you know we’re blessed; We have change to spare!JesusGet out! Get out!Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer?But you have made it a “den of thieves,” Get out! Get out! V.

Who questions our authority?A PriestHe’s working on the Sabbath DayA SadduceeWhen He should pray.An ElderI wish that He’d go away!PriestsHe’s stepping on our toes!

SadduceesHe’s laughing at our dignity!The ThreeHe’s teaching how to bend the rules and break the laws… And unlike us,He gets applause! He gets applause! He gets applause!MenWho is this Man? Who gave you the authority?JESUSI’ll answer if you tell me this:Who baptized John?Was it Man? Or, was it heaven’s decree?

MenNo matter what we say he’s got us in a jam:If He keeps this up, they’ll say we’re all a sham.Better think quick and make it clear as a bell:We don’t know!JESUSAnd, I’ll never tell!

MenWho is this Man who questions our authority?What of Caesar? Would you question him?We got Him now! If He gets this wrong, the jig is up! And how! JESUSGive Caesar what he says is due; and give God His, too.And take your spies with you!I answer to my Father and not you at all! My Father calls the chosen few(But, is that you?) Guess who else received the call?MenNo matter what we say he’s got us in a jam:If He keeps this up, they’ll say we’re all a sham.We’re running out of tricks – He’s on to our scam.JESUSI told you who I am!MenWho is this Man? He’s got our trick!Who is this Man? He knows we’re slick!Who is this Man? Ain’t He a hick?Who is this Man? Ain’t scared a lick!We better figure it out, Figure it out,Figure it out and do it quick!
