Story Behind The Song

I was struck by Christ's courage and imagined him making the connection at that time between his imanent cricifixion and the feast of Passover

Song Description

An imaginative re-telling of the last supper, from the perspective of Christ

Lyrics

I am broken for you tonight
I love you so, I will wash your feet
Oh my companions will you watch with me?
I fear the kiss that I must surely meet
But you don?t know what I mean
You don?t know what I mean
You sing hosannas, but I am broken
You spread your palms all across the street
You sing of victory but I am broken
Oh how will you remember me?

I am broken for you tonight
The soldiers wait upon the traitors task
My courage spills from it?s trembling cup
Judas be quick with what is in your heart
The time is now, it is here
The time is now, it is here
You sing hosannas but I am broken
The bread and the wine and the ancient feast
Speak to you of victory, but I am broken
Oh how will you remember me?

With bitter herbs and unleavened bread
The lamb of God must be sacrificed
Sign of oppression and sign of redemption
The emblem of innocence must pay the price
Whose blood is spilt on the ground
Whose blood is spilt on the ground
Splashed on the lintels of your door to protect you
From the avenging angel come to set you free
Blood of the lamb spilt on the ground to direct you
But how will you remember me?

I am broken for you tonight
