LANDON POV
I WALKED INTO HOPE'S ROOM AND SAW HER WRITING VERY FAST IN HER NOTEBOOK. I JUST SMILED AT HOW HARD SHE WAS CONCERNTRATING. "SO AFTER YOU'RE DONE WITH THE LYRICS, I'LL HELP WITH THE MUSIC."
SHE JUMPED ABOUT A FOOT IN THE AIR. "OH GOODNESS DAD, YOU SCARED ME."
"SO WHAT ARE YOU WRITING ABOUT NOW?"
HOPE POV
I WAS DEBATING IF I SHOULD TELL MY DAD. I DECIDED NOT TO SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW THE STORY. "OH, I JUST GOT A SONG IN MY HEAD. IT'S JUST A SWEET TYPE TUNE ABOUT SOMEONE REALIZING THAT SOMEONE ISN'T EXACLTY WHAT THEY SEEM AND THAT ALL THAT PERSON WANTS TO DO IS TAKE ALL THE PAIN AWAY."
MY DAD SMILED AND NODDED. "SOUNDS GOOD. DO YOU WANT ME TO WRITE THE GUITAR PART WHEN YOU'RE DONE?"
I SMILED. "THAT WOULD BE NICE. I CAN DO THE PIANO PART WITH YOU TOO." MY DAD GOT UP AND I FINISHED. I RAN DOWNSTAIRS AND MY DAD ALREADY HAD THE GUITAR OUT. I LAUGHED AND SAT AT THE PIANO. WE GOT STARTED ON MY SONG AND FINISHED AT ABOUT 11:30. WE DECIDED TO GO TO BED.
JORDAN POV
I DIDN'T SLEEP THAT NIGHT AT ALL. I WAS IN THE KTCHEN AT 9:00, DRESSED AND READY TO GO TO CHURCH. I KNEW WE WOULD BE GOING SINCE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I SAW MY DAD AND MOM SITTING IN THERE ALREADY EATING BREAKFAST. I TOOK A SEAT AND BEGAN EATING. MY MOM REACHED FOR MY HAND. "HONEY."
I JUST LOOKED AT HER, THE TEARS ALREADY COMING. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?"
MY DAD AND HER JUST SAT THERE. WE FINISHED EATING AND HEADED TO CHURCH.
LANDON POV
I TOOK MY USUAL SEAT BY HEGBERT AS CHURCH STARTED. HOPE AND I WERE SINGING THE SPECIAL TODAY AND I WAS WAITING FOR OUR TURN.
HOPE POV
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR TWO REASONS. ONE, MY DAD AND I WERE SINGING, TWO, JORDAN WAS THERE. WHEN IT WAS MY DAD AND MINE'S TURN, I GOT OUT OF THE CHOIR LOFT AND MET HIM ON THE STAGE. THE MUSIC STARTED AND I BEGAN TO SING.
(HOPE)
IN A SOLITARY MOMENT OF HIS BIRTH
ON THIS BARREN DUSTY LAND ALL OF HEAVEN KISSED THE FACE OF THE EARTH WITH A MIRACLE OF LOVE GOD BECAME A MAN BUT HE WAS SENT AWAY TO DRAW HIS FINAL BREATH WHEN HE WAS ONLY THIRTY THREE AND IN THE SHAME OF DYING A CRIMINAL'S DEATH HE CLEASNED AN ANGRY WORLD AND IN HIS SUFFERINGS I SEE
(CHORUS) THE GLORY OF THE BLOOD THE BEAUTY OF THE BODY THAT WAS BROKEN FOR OUR FORGIVNESS THE GLORY OF HIS PERFECT LOVE IS THE HEART OF THE STORY THE GLORY OF THE BLOOD
(LANDON) NOW I HAVE TRIED TO FIND SALVALTION ON MY OWN IN A SEARCH FOR SOMETHING REAL BUT THERE'S A GULITY HEART INSIDE THIS FLESH AND BONE I FALL UPON HIS GRACE AND I BEGIN TO FEEL
(LANDON AND HOPE CHORUS)
(LANDON) AND WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN SEE HIM HANGING THERE (HOPE) OF THE PRECIOUS WOUNDED LAMB OF GOD (BOTH) ALL THE MAJESTY IN THE WORLD COULD NOT COMPARE TO THE GLORY
THE BEAUTY OF THE BODY
THAT WAS BROKEN FOR OUR FORGIVNESS
BUT HE WAS SENT AWAY TO DRAW HIS FINAL BREATH WHEN HE WAS ONLY THIRTY THREE
JORDAN POV
FOR SOME REASON, I GOT CAUGHT UP IN THEIR SONG. I DIDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE. AFTER THE SONG, EVERYONE ERUPTED IN APPLAUSE. I CLAPPED WITH THEM. THEN I CAUGHT MYSELF, AND SLID BACK DOWN IN MY SEAT. THANK GOODNESS NONE OF MY FRIENDS SHOWED UP THIS MORNING.
