The Passion of Christ

This album is a musical journey through the Passion of Christ, tracing the story from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the sorrow of the cross and the hope of the resurrection. Each track captures a defining moment — the intimacy of the Last Supper, the anguish of Gethsemane, the sting of betrayal, the silence of denial, and the agony of crucifixion. The music weaves together sorrow and beauty, lament and triumph, reflecting both the humanity of Jesus’ suffering and the divinity of His sacrifice. It’s an immersive experience that invites the listener not only to witness the story but to feel its weight, its heartbreak, and ultimately its promise of redemption.

Work in progress: the following demo tracks are not yet mixed, mastered, or finalised, but they offer a glimpse of the direction this project is heading.

Gethsemane’s Prayer

In the Garden of Gethsemane, on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed in deep anguish, fully aware of the suffering that lay ahead. His prayer — “Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done” — reveals both His humanity and His obedience. It is a moment of profound vulnerability, where Christ wrestles with fear, sorrow, and the weight of sacrifice, yet ultimately surrenders to God’s will.

 

The Crucifixion

“The Crucifixion” stands as the heart of the album, carrying the weight of sorrow, sacrifice, and divine love. The track unfolds with a heavy, somber tone, echoing the darkness that covered the sky as Jesus hung on the cross. Every note reflects pain and struggle, yet beneath it runs a quiet thread of hope, as His final words — ‘It is finished’ — mark not defeat but victory. This song captures both the raw human suffering of Christ and the eternal significance of His sacrifice, inviting the listener into a moment of deep reflection on love that endures to the very end.
