THE WAY OF THE CROSS
The truth of Simeon's prophetic words
In Jerusalem horribly came to pass
All over Galilee the news was heard
That Jesus through betrayal captured was
Pilate washed his hands in hoped for innocence
Where now were those who had so lately praised?
Masses of people showed their ignorance
Grim heads were tossed and threatening fists were raised
With nails his hands and feet were cruelly pierced
The salty blood from thorn crown blinded his eyes
After three hours of intolerable tears
The Son of God, the Son of Mary, died
Taken down from the Cross he on her knees was laid
With Mary at his burial but three or four friends prayed
