Man On a Hill

Man on a Hill Man on a hill, Bruised and broken, Watches as the dice roll For his seamless robe; Stripped of his clothing; No words are spoken By the man on a hill. Man on the hill, Crushed by a crown of thorns, Cries into the sky Of the sunless day; Forgiveness on his lips Mercy adorns him - The man on a hill. Man on a hill, All of Heaven bows before you – Nature holds its breath; Angels, silent, Before the Word who gave them life; Can you feel the wind shiver? Can you feel the earth shudder? Man on a hill. Man on a hill, Stands before us, See His plan unfolding Before our eyes; Witness in his fading life A testimony of undeniable love; By the man on a hill.

Sam, the love and mercy and forgiveness and meekness are on full display in this touching lyric, so aptly shared with us on this Good Friday. Filled with powerful images, yet not tragic because it was part of God's plan from eternity. "Angels, silent, / Before the Word who gave them life." Wonderful words. P.s. - I see from your website that this song is on your Jericho Road CD. Now I really want to hear it! God bless your Easter, friend.

Hi John, thank you so very much for your visit and your message. This was written for a church in Boston and was one of those songs that my producer took and turned into something special. You can hear the song, and download it and or the album, at CDbaby, Amazon and itunes. Blessings to you and your family. Also, thank you for letting me know about the problem at CDBaby.

Appropriate and well done. Loved the imagery of the man on the hill stated and then strategically repeated. Quite skillful and passionate. Congrats on your high placement.

Agreed, Kim. I pray the world will turn to God for comfort and wisdom and not forget, as we have a tendency to do. Blessings to you for Easter.
