N.T. Wright Sings Sydney Carter's 'Friday Morning'

N.T. Wright sings the great poet Sydney Carter's controversial (and in my opinion, brilliant) song 'Friday Morning'. As Dr. Wright says, it's quite self-explanatory.

LYRICS:
It was on a Friday morning that they took me from the cell,
And I saw they had a carpenter to crucify as well.
You can blame it on to Pilate, you can blame it on the Jews,
You can blame it on the Devil, but it’s God that I accuse.
It’s God they ought to crucify instead of you and me,
I said to the carpenter, a-hanging on the tree.
You can blame it on to Adam, you can blame it on to Eve,
You can blame it on the apple, but that I can’t believe.
It was God that made the Devil and the woman and the man,
And there wouldn’t be an apple if it wasn’t in the plan.
It’s God they ought to crucify instead of you and me,
I said to the carpenter, a-hanging on the tree.
Now Barabbas was a sinner, and they let Barabbas go,
But you are being crucified for nothing here below.
But your God is up in heaven and He doesn’t do a thing,
With a million angels watching, and they never move a wing.
It’s God they ought to crucify instead of you and me,
I said to the carpenter, a-hanging on the tree.
To hell with Jehovah, to the carpenter I said,
I wish that a carpenter had made the world instead,
Goodbye and good luck to you, our ways will soon divide,
Remember me in your kingdom, the man you hung beside.
It’s God they ought to crucify instead of you and me,
I said to the carpenter, a-hanging on the tree.
