Good Friday

One friday in eternity a man was framed they say
a man was framed, but why the fuss
it happens every day
One friday in eternity repeated every day

One friday in eternity a man was flogged they say
a man was flogged, but why the fuss....
it happens every day.
One friday in eternity....it happens every day

One friday in eternity a man was hanged they say
a man was hanged, but why the fuss
it happens every day
One friday in eternity....it happens every day

One friday in eternity, that man was God they say
if that is true - if God was there -
it happens every day
If God was sharing mortal pain.....it happens every day
One friday in eternity....it happens every day

Lampedusa Cross:
British Museum boss Neil MacGregor's final acquisition before stepping down is a cross made from the wreck of a refugee boat sunk in the Mediterranean. The 2013 Lampedusa Cross was made and gifted by carpenter Francesco Tuccio, who lives on the Italian island. The boat was carrying more than 500 refugees from Eritrea and Somalia, of which 151 people survived.
