A Good Friday piece in two parts with an option SATB ending.
Ends with asking the question "And the promises he promised us, did they
die with him upon the cross?" and "Rest in peace".
My favorite accompaniment, at least to this point.
Spring, 1989
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when the cock crowed twice?
Did you stay with Peter? Did you go with Christ?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when the sky turned black?
Did you beg forgiveness? Did you turn your back?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when he died?
Where were you when he cried in pain?
Did he reach your heart? Did he die in vain?
Where were you when he died?
Gentle Mary, meek and mild,
Where is now your holy child?
And the promises he promised us,
Did they die with him upon the cross?
Requiescat in pace. Amen.
