Chilly, concerned, Christ calls
“Come, companions. Consider, counsel,
comfort, cleave, console, cheer.
Co- operate. Crisis creeps closer!”
Crafty chum, calculating; concealing contempt
Coolly cuddles Christ.
Corrupt coward’s conspiracy complete.
Captured Christ calm, courageous;
Countenance composed.
Chosen course – Creation’s cure. Christ consents.
Critics, culprits cursing, chastening.
Certain conviction; culmination – crucifixion!
Chosen close comrade cowering, capricious.
Cephas creeping closer; concerned, cautious.
Citizens clamouring, cry “Crucify!”
Consequently challenged,
Christ’s companion capitulates.
Contact confirms claims, charges.
Christ’s covert colleague crumples.
(Concerned Christ concurs Cephas’ conduct culpable.)
Cock crows - cowardly chosen companion cracks.
Clamouring crowd congregates. Confusion! Contention!
Cheats conspire, Caiaphas conforms, Christ’s cheek clouted.
Cruel crown crushes Christ’s comeliness.
Chanting crowd cries “Crucify!”
Council challenges, censures Christ; chastise cruelly.
Chief-priest compliant, conforms, colludes.
Caiaphas commits, charges, condemns courageous Christ.
Congregating crowd churlish, celebrates.
Clemency choked; calamity certain.
Christ creeping, clutching cross;
crumples,
crawls,
collapses.
Cyrenian chosen, coerced, compelled; carries Christ’s cross.
Chaos! Commotion! Calvary comes closer!
Crude crosses cast; clanking cruelly. Cynical, curious crowd converges.
Critical crucified criminal companion challenges Christ.
“Consider consequences!”
Contemptuously curses calm, considerate Christ.
Contrary conduct; convicted criminal companion contrite; changed.
Confesses consternation, calls Christ – character converted!
Christ’s cross central. Contorted, Christ’s comeliness cut.
Contemplating, calling, caring,
comforting crying companions.
Custodial centurian, confounded, clasping cast-lot cloak.
Convinced, converted, confesses
“Condemned character’s certainly Christ – Creator’s Child!”
Clouds cover Calvary. Christ’s crucifixion cancels corruption!
Carnal censure ceases. Condemnation conquered. Cyanosis culminates-
Controlled climax. Closure. Curtain cut.
Corpse collected. Cell contains, conceals cadaver, conspicuously confined.
Corpse cold, constricted. Cave closed. Christ’s carnality ceases.
Copious crying; consternation.
Cherished corpse changed! Celestial conquest complete!
Choir chants “Celebration! Christ’s Cross conquered Calvary!”
Christ comes, calls, challenges, cherishes.
Converts contrite; controls cheats; calms confused, comforts concerned.
Cleans contaminated, confounds critics, convinces cynics, convicts consciences,
Christ calls “Come close! Cleave, commune, celebrate. Calvary’s conquered!
