Opening Hymn – How Deep the Father's love for us

https://youtu.be/e9FG12eTSbI

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


STATIONS OF THE CROSS

We carry the saving cross

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.

1. Christ truth and life, 
condemned by falsehood
He leads the way of the cross.

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

3. Christ, lamb of God,
for us sinners crucified
He leads the way of the cross


The 1st Station, Jesus is sentenced to death

The 2nd Station, Jesus takes up His cross

The 3rd station, Jesus fall for the first time


Were you there when He fell upon His knees?
Were you there when He fell upon His knees?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, 
tremble, tremble.
Were you there when He fell upon His knees?

The 5th Station, Simon helps Jesus to carry His cross

The 6th Station, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus 

Were you There?

Were you there when He fell upon the stone?
Were you there when He fell upon the stone?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, 
tremble, tremble.
Were you there when He fell upon the stone?

The 7th Station, Jesus falls the second time

The 8th Station, Jesus meets the women of
Jerusalem

The 9th Station, Jesus falls for the third time

948 Because the Lord is my shepherd  (
Verse 2 + chorus)

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:

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

The 10th station, Jesus is stripped of His clothes.

The 11th Station, Jesus is nailed to the cross

The 12th Station, Jesus dies on the cross

The 13th Station, Jesus is taken down from the cross

Verse of hymn – Were you There? (verse 5)

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

The 14th Station, Jesus is laid in the tomb
