On That Day (The makers' mark)

Movement 1 - The Tree

Verse 1
A seed, fallen to the earth, tended by the one, the one who brings new life
A seed, longing for the sun, waiting for the rain, breaking through the dark


Bridge 1
Through the years, through the storms, see it grow, see it forming
Giving shelter to all who run to that grove
Seasons change, time has passed, see the tree, that the carpenter has chosen to fall
On that day

Instrumental (The Spirit motif)

Verse 2

A son came into the world nurtured by the love of the one who gave him life
A son grows into a man waiting, for the reign that pierces through the dark

Bridge 2
Seasons change time has come, see him grow into the one
Through the years, time has passed, see him seek his Father’s heart

Movement 2 - The Calling

In the temple, in his nature, see him grow in love and favour
From the mountains, through the valleys, in the Jordan he’s baptised
He spreads the word and makes disciples, turns the water into wine
Heals the sick and lifts the lame, causes Pharisaic rage
Calms the storm and walks on water ,saves the life of Jairus’ daughter
He opens the eyes and feeds the masses, dares to heal upon the sabbath
Questioning power raised suspicion, when he speaks about his kingdom…
His kingdom…
His kingdom come…

Movement 3 - The Enmity

Bridge 3 (w/ The Spirit motif)
(Jesus’ words)
…come to earth I dwell among you
The Son of man sent from above to
Write the world a new song
If they hate then show them love
From the darkness into light
I am the way, the truth, the life

Verse 3
(The Pharisees)
It's all too much have him arrested
False accusers so attested
To his crimes, for he blasphemes
Fallen prey to evil schemes
Break the flesh now, let us try him
Let the rulers crucify!
crucify him….crucify him!

Instrumental (The Spirit motif)

Movement 3 - The cruciform journey (the road to the cross)

See his love though he is bound
To this salvation story that here is found
In his stripes and in his scars, in the sorrow see the splinters, feel the shards
Upon the beams that he shouldered, feel the sting of wicked soldiers
See the crimson, see the crown, hear the mocking of the crowd
See the love in his eyes though condemned and though despised

Along the road that will bring us closer to his Father’s kingdom
Through the storm, through the rain
Feel the scorn and feel the strain, see that hill, through the haze
Through the shadows, through the daze
See the spear, see the nails, feel the fury, feel the shame
Hear the jeers, hear the rage from the souls he came to save
Shake the earth, tear the veil, take the keys of death and hell
Face the wind, split the sky, the son of man is lifted high

(Eli, lama sabachthani)

Final movement - The Sacrifice

Bridge 4
(Jesus’ words)
Father please please forgive them
For they know not what they’re doin’
Turn away and call me guilty
If it means you’ll show them mercy
Into your hands I lay my spirit
It is finished…

Bridge reprise (return to The Tree w/ The Spirit motif)

Seasons change, time has passed
See the tree, now the carpenter has chosen to fall
On that day

Standing on that hill the tree became the cross
That bears the makers' mark
