In 1983 I wrote a Christian musical for the Easter Season. Since then "Shalom" has been presented in numerous churches of various denominations. Below I am including lyrics from some of the songs from the musical. I pray they will bless you.

"Shalom" by Jim Clifford (Copyright 1983)

Main Theme
"Shalom"

Shalom! Shalom"
His peace is given unto you.
In peace the fruit of righteousness is sown.
He said, "My peace I leave with you,
My peace give unto you,"
Then He died for sins to atone.
Justified now by faith
We have true peace with God
Through our Lord Jesus, Christ,"Shalom!"

"The Prophecy"

He was despied, rejected of men;
A man of sorrows was He
And so acquainted with our grief,
Yet our faces we hid not to see.
He carried our sorrow and bore our grief;
We esteemed Him afflicted and tried.
He was wounded and bruised,
Chastised and abused,
Yet for our sins He suffered and died.
Yes for our sins He suffered and died.

We are the ones who've strayed like sheep,
God's path we've left for our own.
Yet to the slaughter came one Lamb
And bled for sins to atone.
But when He shall see the travail of His soul,
He shall be satisfied
By the knowedege that He
Justified you and me
And for our sins He suffered and died.
Yes for our sins He suffered and died.

"Hosanna"

Blessed be the King,
Oh, Blessed be the King
That cometh in the name of the Lord!

Blessed be the King,
Oh, Blessed be the King
That cometh in the name of the Lord!

Hosanna, Hosanna,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna, Hosanna,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!

Thus was spoken by the prophet cryin',
He cometh in the name of the Lord!
Go tell ye the Daughter of Zion,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!

Hosanna, Hosanna,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna, Hosanna,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!

Spread palm branches,
Cast your garments in the way.
He cometh in the name of the Lord!
For He rides through the streets
Of the ctiy today
He cometh in the name of the Lord!

Hosanna, Hosanna,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna, Hosanna,
He cometh in the name of the Lord!
