Philtatos is that deepest love a person can have for another as a loyal caring friend. In John’s Gospel the raising of Lazarus is the encounter of Jesus angry and in deep frustration at deaths grip on his friend, and humanity.
This song is based upon the Greek words expressing Jesus intense emotions.
I wrote this after my recent operation in Rotorua hospital as a reflection on faith.
