Thought:
Listen to this song and realize that the cross is the center of our spirituality. Remember that Jesus' instruction concerning fasting in Matthew 6:16-18 is at the beginning of a book that ends with Matthew 26,27, and 28 (the betrayl, death, burial and resurrection of Christ).

Lyrics:
Though the Earth Cried out for blood
Satisfied her hunger was
Her billows calmed on raging seas
for the souls on men she craved
Sun and moon from balcony
Turned their head in disbelief
Their precious Love would taste the sting
disfigured and disdained
On Friday a thief On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that dayThe first born of the slain
The Man Jesus ChristLaid death in his grave
So three days in darkness slept
The Morning Sun of righteousness
But rose to shame the throes of death And over turn his rule
Now daughters and the sons of men
Would pay not their dues again
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled a new
On Friday a thief On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief But awoke holding keys
To Hell on that day The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ Laid death in his grave
On Friday a thief On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ Laid death in his grave
He has cheated Hell and seated Us above the fall
In desperate places He paid our wages
One time once and for all
