Stations of the Cross in Poetry Prayer
Station 1: Jesus is condemned to death
You were betrayed Jesus
Even by trusted friends
Still shows us charity
Life for us you mend
Your power brings to serve
People you call your own
Condemned to death, for us
A Father’s promise sown
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 2: Jesus bears his cross
Cross, you bear means love
Almighty’s gift to the world
Jesus, brother, keeper
To journey with us, Lord
You became man
Mercy for humanity
Sky and earth unite
Miracle flowing sanctity
Jesus on the Cross, by your love heal us.
Station 3: Jesus falls the first time
Lord, let us hold you
Lord, let us rise with you
Power in humility
Shows us to be true
No man is perfect
Only God - is
Lord Jesus, as example
If fallen, hold to peace
Jesus on the cross, by your love heals us.
Station 4: Jesus meets his mother
What grief for a mother
What grief for a child
What grief for a beloved
Alone in sorrow, Jesus guides
Feel us Jesus
In sorrow and isolation
But God’s will is best
Have mercy in temptation
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 5: Jesus is helped by Simon
Simon of Cyrene
Courage and cross you lifted
Bridge to us from heaven
Angel signs we’re gifted
And so we come in prayer
Flesh, thoughts, and our hearts
Your holy cross dear Jesus
To us don’t ever part.
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 6: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
Saint, Oh Saint Veronica
Ring bells to God’s workers
Crown of thorns on Holy face
Hope and bliss, His blood carves
O, poor Face we love you
Face of beauty, Face of light
In suffering and brokenness
Sacred Face of might
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 7: Jesus falls a second time
My Lord! My God! My Savior!
We trust our lives in Thee
You know how weak we all are
We beg, we beg, we plea
My Lord! My God!
Be here to servants frail
Hold me, hold us
O’er wind we fly, on sea we sail
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 8: Jesus speaks to the women
Help us to love Mother Mary
You longed your parents, too
The crowd, are us, your family
How precious all to you
Speak to us, we long for Thee
The bravest soldier frees
From sin and wars
Your words a bomb and keys
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 9: Jesus falls a third time
Race and blows
The third’s the final count
Your sacrifice, a painful lash
Forgive our sins abound
Hold tight hold, dear Jesus
Please - do not let go
These eyes are full of tears
Wash us white as snow
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 10: Jesus is stripped of his garments
When all is done for love
So fair and pure the nakedness
And all that Christ gave
T’ was peace for all and happiness
Strip all, be all
We ask You for nothing
Let You alone fill us
Christ, O Christ be everything!
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 11: Jesus is nailed to the cross
Nails piercing us
First pierced on you
Nations already won
Sacred Cross on earth anew
Man and tides pushing rocks
When life cries in pain
Trials come harrowing
Lord let Your Kingdom reign.
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
How You loved us, Jesus; How great, You are God’s Son
How You loved us, Jesus; How great, You are God’s Son:
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do
Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise
Woman, this is your son. And this is your mother
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
I thirst
It is finished.”
Then, Jesus cried out in a loud voice
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 12: Jesus dies on the cross
Tomorrow’s death so scary
Life today we pray
Us - forever with you Jesus
With Almighty Father lay
Jesus how we love you
Let us see Thy face
Forgive us in transgressions
A Holy Cross wins grace
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 13: Jesus is taken from the cross
God’s justice stark in love
Priests on temples pray
Breath of Holy Spirit blows
Forever brothers all we stay
Body whole and pure
No evil can defeat
The triumph of the cross
For holy workers banquet
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.
Station 14: Jesus is laid in the tomb
Love never fails; never ends
The Holy Bible writes
Wake us up dear Jesus
At dawn, resurrect flight
We adore you O Christ
Have mercy -
Your holy cross be salvation
Hearts with Thee forever, have mercy.
Jesus on the cross , by your love heal us.
We love you.
I love you.
