A moving and beautiful song from Swami Kriyananda's Oratorio "Christ Lives!", performed at Ananda Village August 24th 2024.

Lyrics
Bass (Satan):
“Behold all the wonders God’s grace can bestow:
If you but reclaim what you’ve given.
Why not ask of God any wonder you crave?
Worship me to satisfy all human needs.
Dominion now over all this noble earth!
All I ask of you is: Worship me!”

Tenor (Jesus):
“Get thee behind me,” Jesus declared.
“Satan, know you not our Father offers love in your stead?
His gift of love to all is my only food;
He is all I own. What does man need, but Him?”

Alto:
Then the darkness lifted, Love destroyed Satan’s power,
Then at last the Savior could begin bringing all to God.

Soprano:
For he taught them in freedom, wanting naught in return.
All he offered was perfect peace, perfect freedom of soul.

Tenor:
God is all I love: He is all there is!
Wise is he who says, “I am wholly his!”

Bass:
God is all I fear! Lo! my throne of pow’r,
Shaken by His love, Was destroyed in that hour!

Soprano, Alto:
Throughout all the world a new spirit was born,
Jesus brought to men’s hearts hope for those steeped in sin.
