Dolly Parton, "He's Alive"

"And Jesus stood before me
With his arms held open wide"

"He's alive, he's alive
Hallelujah, he's alive
He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide

He's alive (he's alive), he's alive (he's alive)
He's alive
I believe it, he's alive
Sweet Jesus"

This song connects to Easter because its about how Christ came back from his death and forgave our sins with his body.

Black Sabbath, "After Forever"

"Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear, yes I think it's too late"

After Forever by Black Sabbath connects to ordinary time because it is about how we should always thank God for all he does and that we should realize he is the one to free us from sin and hate.

O Come O Come Emmanuel

O Come O Come Emmanuel is about focusing on the new arrival of Jesus instead of focusing on the tyranny in the cities

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

[Refrain]

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

[Verse 2]

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might

Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height

In ancient times didst give the law

In cloud, and majesty and awe

Metallica, "Creeping Death"

"Slaves hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed to his every word, live in fear
Faith of the unknown one, the deliverer"

This song connects to Holy Week since its about Passover and the freedom of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt.

Amazing Grace - Elvis Presley

Amazing grace oh how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

When we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when when we first begun

This can relate to Pentecost through them being lost from Jesus. But then the holy spirit comes down and guides them back to him.

Metallica, "Wherever I May Roam"

parkerblanchette — 2024-04-10 18:51:44 UTC

"And the Earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone"

This song connects to lent since its is about wandering through the desert and being cut from all ties and how he he might be physically alone but is with God the whole time.

Follow God - Kanye West

Lookin' for a bright light, Sigel, what your life like

This verse can apply to advent through the three wise men. It can show that they follow the light by the star to find Jesus.
