Station 2: Jesus Takes up the Cross
Mark 15:20
After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
What Wondrous Love Is This (St. Olaf Choir), Anton Armstrong - Director
1.What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this O my soul? What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
2. When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down, when I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul!
3. To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing, to God and to the Lamb, I will sing; to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM, will millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing.
Prayer:
Merciful God, we are so often weighed down by our own sin, and the pain that it causes us and others. In taking up the cross, you have shown your willingness to unburden us from this weight that we might know ourselves forgiven and set free. Amen.
