Opening: How Deep the Father's love for us
https://youtu.be/CYV7hpD9JTI

How deep the Father’s Love for us
How deep the Father's
love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
to make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,
the Father turns His face away
as wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon a cross,
my sin upon His shoulders
ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there
until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that
it is finished

I will not boast in anything
no gifts, no power no wisdom
but I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
but this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Station 1:   752 my song is love unknown verse3
https://youtu.be/Iv7OZSoA22w
https://youtu.be/HMart4wXsI0

Sometimes they strew His way,
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then “Crucify!” is all their breath,
And for His death they thirst and cry.


Station 2.   We carry the saving cross (refrain + verse only)
https://youtu.be/KgYZoP3xlxk

Refrain:
We carry the saving cross through
The roads of the world.
Through the alleys of poverty and misery.
Marching to a dawning day to freedom and victory,
To God’s life and endless glory.

Christ, sent by God, obedient to the father’s will
He leads the way of the cross.

Station 3.   948 Because the Lord is my shepherd  vs2 + refrain
https://youtu.be/qhA4g6faRpo

Verse 2:
And when the road leads to darkness,
I shall walk there unafraid.
Even when death is close I have courage,
for your help is there.
You are close beside me with comfort,
you are guiding my way:

Refrain
Lord, you are my shepherd,
you are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
just to follow my friend.

Station 4.   343 Where are you bound, Mary? (refrain, vs2, refrain)
https://youtu.be/BSPwQWIMexw

(Softly and with feeling)

(Refrain)
Where are you bound, Mary, Mary ?
Where are you bound, Mother of God ?

Mary heard the word spoken in her inmost heart;
Mary bore the word and held him in her arms.
Sorrow she has known, seeing him upon the cross
-greater joy to see him rise again.
(Refrain)

Station 5.   We carry the saving cross (vs.5): (refrain + verse only)
https://youtu.be/KgYZoP3xlxk  

Refrain:
We carry the saving cross through
The roads of the world.

Marching to a dawning day to freedom and victory,
To God’s life and endless glory.

Christ, humble servant aided by Simon
He leads the way of the cross.

To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King..

In life, no house, no home
My Lord on earth might have;
In death no friendly tomb
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say? Heav’n was His home;
But mine the tomb wherein He lay.
