Coptic Orthodox Resurrection Play: Re-enactment

Matthew 10:16-23 (NKJV)

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Lyrics:

Oh Creator of Love, Oh refuge of my soul
You are the guarantee in the midst of my journey 
I am in need of You
I am in need of You
I need from You a power to raise me
You, Oh Lord, alone
You, Oh Lord, alone
You aid me when I’m weak
And have mercy

Oh my master, I want to delve so deep in you
Revive me! Give life to me
I want to see the light of your love
Shining inside of me (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator of Love, Oh source of my power
While in the midst of my sorrows, You are my comforter
I am longing for You
I am longing for You 
I long for You to live in me, oh my King
You, by Your spirit
You, by Your spirit
Throughout my life and journey, You are leading 

Oh my Master, come change my life by Your spirit
And reign over my will 
Touch my heart, my senses and the world wherein I dwell (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)
