XIV Jesus is laid in the tomb
Here at the centre everything is still
Before the stir and movement of our grief
Which bears it’s pain with rhythm, ritual,
Beautiful useless gestures of relief.
So they anoint the skin that cannot feel
Soothing his ruined flesh with tender care,
Kissing the wounds they know they cannot heal,
With incense scenting only empty air.
He blesses every love that weeps and grieves
And makes our grief the pangs of a new birth.
The love that’s poured in silence at old graves
Renewing flowers, tending the bare earth,
Is never lost. In him all love is found
And sown with him, a seed in the rich ground.

VIII. Jesus Christ Lies Here Tonight
Listen to Blue Church member´s
Re-Creation of this timeless music:

The stillness of the grave
- transformation happens, the crucified son of God, fully human, turns into the resurrected, ascends from darkness into light, on the journey to become one and all (OMNI) with the creator god.
The mystery takes place without human witnesses, we can only marvel about the empty grave on Easter Sunday. And within the wonder we remember the "sacred head", the wounded body, the willingness to love the world beyond human imagination. Can we experience it today?
The stillness before a concert,
behind the curtain,
before a recording,
a the microphone,
before the first notes appear,
before imagination turns into sound,
before thoughts and emotions turn into words and music,
at the desk, on stage,
invisible, without any human witnesses, who can only read and listen what
came from the stillness
and wonder.
