When we have pain or torment in our lives ,
just think and mediate ,
of how it must have felt for him ,
to have carried that awful weight .
Condemned to death upon a cross ,
but don't you think that's so unfair ?
Jesus said to learn from him
because his load is easy to bear .
So when we're burdened by a cross
that we find too hard to carry ,
Remember the long and rocky path
that he walked to Calvary .
With his strength gone , he couldn't carry on
and he fell to the ground .
Like a worm in the dirt ,
he was crushed and hurt ,
but still made no sound .
Jesus unites his sufferings ,
to the things that we must go through .
In our weakness he can give us strength ,
to do what we have to do .
Weep not in sorrow when things go wrong ,
but pray for the gift of grace .
Christ himself could not see
til Veronica wiped blood from his face .
Sometimes like Veronica ,
we need to wipe blindness from our eyes ,
And ask God to show us the way ahead
and teach us to be wise .
As Christ fell to the rocky ground ,
the soldiers kicked him and whipped him ,
they spat on him and mocked him ,
they abused him and crucified him ,
they pierced his side with a spear
and then gave him vinegar to drink .
So when you feel forgotten
or rejected in life ,
stop and think .
From the cross he said ,
Father forgive them
they know not what they do .
Then he breathed his last and died .
He did all this for me and for you .
