How I got over
02.04.2023
Predigt von Pastor Michael Schirmer in St. Johannis Altona.
Lied: Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
1. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
2. Were you there when they took him from the cross?
3. Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
4. Were you there when the stone was rolled away?
Lied: Hurt
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I'm still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
How I got over - Mahalia Jackson
Refrain
How I got over?
How did I make it over?
You know my soul look back and wonder
How that I make it over?
How I made it over?
Comin all over?
All these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How that I make it over?
Vers
Ooh, but soon as I can see Jesus
The Man that died for me
Man that bled and suffered
And it Hung on Calvary
And I wanna thank him for how he brought me
And I wanna thank God for how he taught me
Oh, thank my God how he kept me
Oh I'm gonna thank him 'cause He never left me
Refrain
How I got over?
How did I make it over?
You know my soul look back and wonder
How that I make it over?
How I made it over?
Comin all over?
All these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How that I make it over?
And I gonna thank God for whole time religion
I wanna thank God for giving me a vision
Oh, I'm gon' join the Heavenly choir
I'm gonna sing and never get tired
I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round the alter
I'm gonna shout all my trouble over
You know I´ve got to thank God
Thank You for being so good to me
How I got over?
How did I make it over?
You know my soul look back and wonder
How that I make it over?
How I made it over?
Comin all over?
All these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How that I make it over?
Credo
Ich glaube, dass Jesus Christus war, was wir sein sollten:
Bruder und Freund aller, die ihn brauchten.
Weil er liebte, musste er leiden.
Weil er so weit ging, musste er sterben.
Aber er starb nicht umsonst und unterlag in Wahrheit nicht.
Er wird das letzte Wort behalten,
und alle, die Toten, die Lebenden und die Kommenden
müssen sich messen lassen an ihm.
Ich glaube, dass mit Jesus ein neuer Geist in die Welt kam,
der die verfeindeten Menschen miteinander sprechen lehrt
und ihnen zeigt, dass sie Geschwister sind;
der uns ermutigt, den Aufstand der Liebe gegen den Hass fortzusetzen;
der unser Urteil schärft,
die Verzweiflung überwindet
und aus Irrwegen des Lebens herausführt.
Ich glaube, dass mein Leben einen höchsten Sinn erhalten kann,
wenn ich mich an Jesus orientiere.
Dann schrecke ich nicht zurück
vor den Gefahren und Widersprüchen des Lebens.
Ich glaube, dass ich durch Jesus Christus erfahre, was Gott vermag.
So wie ich verdanken sich ihm alle Menschen,
auch wenn sie es nicht wissen.
So wie mich rief er die ganze Welt ins Dasein.
Ihm gehört die Welt,
ihm sind wir verantwortlich in allem, was wir tun.
Ich verstehe, was die Lebensaufgabe aller Menschen ist:
Frieden und Gerechtigkeit schaffen
Und Ehrfurcht vor allem Lebendigen zu spüren.
Amen.
