But there's much more to Joseph of Arimathea than is found
in the gospels. A whole host of other stories have grown up around him...
He was the first person to bring Christianity to Britain,
having been sent with other disciples by St Philip
He built Britain's first church (some say this was actually
the first church in the world)
He was Mary's uncle, and thus Jesus' great-uncle
He was a merchant who visited England to buy Cornish tin
He took Jesus with him to England when Jesus was a teenager
(local legends say that among the places they visited were St Just in Roseland
and St Michael's Mount)
He brought to England two vials containing the blood and
sweat of Jesus (or two vials containing the sweat of Jesus)
He brought the Holy Grail to England and hid it in a well at
Glastonbury, now called the Chalice Well

Scripture
Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret
disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for
permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came
and took the body away. 39 With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to
Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds[k] of perfumed ointment
made from myrrh and aloes. 40 Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped
Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 41 The place of
crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.
42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover[l] and
since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. John 19:38-42 NLT

Sail!
This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
I blame it on my A.D.D. baby
This is how an angel dies
I blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself (myself)
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby
Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my A.D.D. baby
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
La la la la la
La la la la la oh!
La la la la la,
La la la la la oh!
La la la la la,
La la la la la,
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sail with me into the dark
Sail!
Sentence Prayer
Risen Christ,
You have risen indeed, my faith can no longer be kept
secret.
Forgive me for giving into my fears.
Give me the courage to sail with you into new lands, to
proclaim the gospel. Amen
