Said Judas to Mary
Author: Sydney Carter Hymnal: Voices United #129 (1996) Meter: 5.8.5.6 Lyrics: 1 Said Judas to Mary, "Now what will you do
with your ointment so rich and so rare?"
"I'll pour it all over the feet of the Lord
and I'll wipe it away with my hair," she said,
"wipe it away with my hair."
2 "Oh Mary, Oh Mary, oh think of the poor --
this ointment, it could have been sold,
and think of the blankets and think of the bread
you could buy with the silver and gold," he said,
"buy with the silver and gold."
3 "Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll think of the poor
Tomorrow," she said, "not today;
for dearer than all of the poor in the world
is my love who is going away," she said,
"my love who is going away."
4 Said Jesus to Mary, "Your love is so deep
today you may do as you will.
Tomorrow you say I am going away,
but my body I leave with you still," he said,
"my body I leave with you still."
5 "The poor of the world are my body,' he said,
"to the end of the world they shall be,
the bread and the blankets you give to the poor
you'll know you have given to me," he said,
"you'll know you have given to me."
6 "My body will hang on the cross of the world
tomorrow," he said, "not today,
and Martha and Mary will find me again
and wash all the sorrow away," he said,
"wash all the sorrow away."

If Our God Had Simply Saved Us
Author: Don Pickard Hymnal: Voices United #131 (1996) Meter: 5.8.5.6 Refrain First Line: Dadayeinu, dadayeinu Lyrics: 1 If our God had simply saved us,
merely brought us out of Egypt,
only opened up our prison:
Dayeinu!
[Refrain:]

Dadayeinu, dayeinu,
Dayeinu, dayeinu!
Dadayeinu, dadayeinu,
Dadayeinu, dayeinu,
dayeinu!
2 If our God had split the Red Sea:
made a way through walls of water,
only opened up the waters:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
3 If our God had kept our feet dry,
kept our heads above the water,
kept us safely without drowning:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
4 If our God had brought us over,
led us safely on to dry land;
(even though it was a desert)
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
5 If our God had only led us,
only gone ahead to guide us,
given cloud and fire to lead us:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
6 If our God had only brought us
to the awful fire at Sinai:
filled us all with dread at Sinai:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
7 If our God had spoken to us

Dayeinu! [Refrain]
11 If our God had only given
seventh day for joy and gladness,

Dayeinu! [Refrain]
12 If our God had from a mountain
let us glimpse the land of promise,
only gaze across the Jordan:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
13 If our God had, through the river,
led us to dry bread and water
and not laid on milk and honey:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
14 If our God had fed us only:
feasted us upon the mountain --
not inviting all the neighbours:
Dayeinu! [Refrain]
15 But our God, who holds the banquet,
calls the whole world into freedom:
opens up the new creation:
Dayeinu! [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Year Holy Week; Biblical Places Red Sea; Choruses and Refrains; Christian Year Holy Week; Exodus; Prisoner(s); Water; Holy Thursday Year A Languages: English; Hebrew Tune Title: DAYEINU

Bitter Was the Night
Author: Sydney Carter Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #101 (2008) Meter: 5.8.5.6 Lyrics: 1 Bitter was the night,
thought the cock would crow forever.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day.
2 Saw you passing by,
told them all I didn't know you.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day.
3 Told them all a lie,
and I told it three times over.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day.
4 What did Judas do?
Sold him for a bag of silver.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day.
5 What did Judas do?
Hanged himself upon an alder.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day.
6 Bitter was the night,
thought there'd never be a morning.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day.
7 Bitter was the night,
thought the cock would crow forever.
Bitter was the night
before the break of day. Topics: Biblical Names and Places Judas; Biblical Names and Places Peter; Repentance Scripture: Matthew 27:3-10 Languages: English Tune Title: BITTER WAS THE NIGHT
