March Madness (Easter 2024)

Easter was March 31st

Before April showers burst

And smack dab in the middle of the madness

And the tomb and the cross

Had me reckoning with loss

How great joy blossoms from great sadness

And the Jesuit tears fell even more this year

On the dreadful day of our Lord’s passion

‘cause the NCAA put games on Good Friday

And the Sweet 16 killed Marquette and Creighton

And it’s all been madness to me, mama

And election year is here and the campaigns are all smear

Running between the ball games that are on

So I baptize my opinion and make believe it’s Christian

And still wake up here in Babylon

And it's all been madness to me, mama

And it’s all been madness to me

I dont have the answers I don't have a clue

And it’s hard to admit that to you

My life contains mistakes

Of someone twice my age

And I don't understand the things I see

And it's all been madness to me

There’s candy in these hills and dire dental bills

And churches holding service way too early

And mom and dad look cool in that mustang convertible

I’ve hurt them both and they still love me dearly

There’s just a shoulders length between a sinner and a saint

And oh what distance to a cross from a manger

So father take this cup I’m trying to give up

My pride, my hatred, and the prison of my angrier

Madness in a dance

Madness in a chance

Madness in romance

Madness in the news

Madness in the blues

Madness everywhere we’ve been

Madness in the sin

Madness in my kin

Madness underneath my skin

Madness everywhere I go

Madness seems like all I know

The seas are mad and the mad wind blows

But what is madness when I know

That it’s all for the greater glory of God

It’s all for the glory of God

That it’s all for the greater glory of God

It’s all for the glory of God

I dont have the answers I don't have a clue

And it's hard to admit that to you

My life contains mistakes

Of someone twice my age

And I don't understand the things I see

And it's all been madness

It's all been madness

It's all been madness to me

Vs 6

Empty grave, an empty tomb, I’m so empty without you

And woefully aware of all my weakness

I hurt my friends the most, is it just because they're close

And what a friend we have in Jesus
