The Trial (Third Hour)

Verse 1:
A night of great anger
A night of lies
Filled with ill temper
False witnessing spies
Ridicule of all kinds
Denied by friends
No compassion to find 
Conspired against

Chorus 1:
Author of Life
The Judge of all
Put on trial
To take the fall
All Pilate did was wash
His is hands of the deed
What about you 
Do you wash your hands of Me?

Verse 2:
Pilate was ready
To set Jesus free
The crowd revolted
Due to the Pharisees 
The murdering thief 
Barabbas was freed
Like how Jesus 
Acquitted you and me

Chorus 2:
Author of Life
The Judge of all
Put on trial
To take the fall
Barabbas was guilty 
But the Lord took his place
What about you
Will you bask in the Lord’s grace?

Bridge:
No jury or judge 
Could ever do
Yet the ignorant
Voted against You
You who will try us
At the end of time
You who will judge us 
For all our crimes
You who will try us
At the end of time
You who will judge us 
For all our crimes
Help us repent of all our bad deeds
We implore You please have mercy
Have mercy Have mercy
Have mercy Have mercy
We implore You please have mercy

The Trial (Third Hour)

Via Dolorosa (Sixth Hour)

Verse 1:
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death

Chorus:
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary

Verse 2:
He was nailed unto the cross outside Jerusalem 
At the place of Skull where they lifted Him
Many scoffed and said
Let Him come down like He raised others from death
But all that Jesus did was to care for those around
His mother sent with John safe and sound
As for those who injured Him
He cried Father forgive their sin

Chorus:
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary

Bridge:
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way to the heart of Jerusalem

Chorus:
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary

Ending:
He walked that road 
For you and me
To Calvary

Via Dolorosa (Sixth Hour)

Remember Me (Ninth Hour)

Verse 1:
No fine robes nor chains of gold
Of Lordship nothing to show
Like a thief He hung unto death
So why is it you sought His help

Pre-chorus:
Was it when the sun hid its rays
Or the earth quaked that day
Or when those long dead arose 
Or the temple veil suddenly tore
That you cried out

Chorus 1:
Remember me oh my Lord
When Thou comest into Thy Kingdom 

Verse 2:
You conceded your guilt and opened your mind 
Believed in a King who was crucified 
Confessed and stole the greatest prize
The very Kingdom of Paradise

Pre-chorus:
Was it when the sun hid its rays
Or the earth quaked that day
Or when those long dead arose 
Or the temple veil suddenly tore
That you cried out

Chorus 2:
Remember me oh my King
When Thou comest into Thy Kingdom 

Verse 3:
You saw your fate you bought its seal
And then He spoke your repeal
All your broken heart and soul 
Restored by faith, life forever stole 

Pre-chorus:
Was it when the sun hid its rays
Or the earth quaked that day
Or when those long dead arose 
Or the temple veil suddenly tore
That you cried out

Bridge:
The very hope and prayer we pray
That Christ might receive us one day
To hear His same words that say
“You will be with me in Paradise today”
When we cry out
When we cry out
When we cry out
When we cry out

Final Chorus:
Remember me oh my Lord
When Thou comest into Thy Kingdom 
Remember me oh my King
When Thou comest into Thy Kingdom 
Remember me oh Holy One
When Thou comest into Thy Kingdom

Remember Me (Ninth Hour)

Sweet Mother (Eleventh Hour)

Chorus (x2):
Sweet mother so young and wise
Dry the fountains from your eyes
Your Son who is innocent chooses to die
Because He loves us, with love we can’t deny

Verse 1:
Simeon the Elder did say
That Jesus was destined for the fall
That the sword would also pierce your soul
Beholding Him crucified to save us all

Chorus:
Sweet mother so young and wise
Dry the fountains from your eyes
Your Son who is innocent chooses to die
Because He loves us, with love we can’t deny

Verse 2:
When His Body descended the cross
You knew the world rejoiced for salvation 
While no words describe the great cost
Paid by your precious Son and God 

Bridge:
You knew His pain within
Carrying all humanity’s sins
You knew His pain of shame
Stripped and hung for all to blame
You knew His pain on the cross
How much He suffered for us
But you endured so seeing Him
Lifting the weight of my sins

Final Chorus:
Virgin Mary do you still cry
Let me dry the tears of your eyes
By repenting of my soul’s crimes
For which Jesus was crucified
Sweet mother don’t you cry
Help me dry the tears of your eyes
Lead my soul to repent of its crimes
For which Jesus was crucified 

Ending:
Sweet mother dry your eyes
