these events really happened

the way of sorrow

the upper room

the garden, Gethsemane

the empty tomb

to touch the stone

the hill of Golgotha

proof of the Passion

that these events really happened

to touch the rock - 2

to touch the rock

the skull, Golgotha,

to climb Calvary

the way of Sorrow.

to touch history

the true location

the crucifixion fact

not just by faith

to touch the stone

the indentation

where Christ died

to set me free

we are broken – v2

we are broken

fundamentally flawed

we sin, we stray

we deny God

we are broken

a seed of sin within us

we choose the way of the flesh

we deny our Savior.

we are in need of forgiveness

we are broken

in the pen with the pigs

far from the Father.

we are in need of forgiveness

for true reconciliation

each of us must choose ourselves

to return to the Father.

we are in need of forgiveness – v2

each of us a prodigal child

straying from perfection

each of us choose a path

away from the Father.

we are in need of forgiveness

we are broken

in the pen with the pigs

far from the Father.

we sin, we miss the mark

even when we try to be faithful

each of us strays from the path

the Father has written for us.

we are in need of forgiveness

for true reconciliation

each of us must choose ourselves

to return to the Father.
