Seven Last Words of Jesus

Posted: March 22, 2024 in Uncategorized

“Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” – The First Word

My heart is so proud
My mind is so unfocused
I see the things You do through me
As great things I have done

And now You gently break me
Then lovingly You take me
And hold me as my father
And mold me as my maker

I ask you, “How many times will you pick me up
When I keep on letting you down?”
And each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound?
And You answer, “My child, I love you
And as long as you’re seeking My face
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace”

You are so patient with me, Lord

As I walk with You, I’m learning
What Your grace really means
The price that I could never pay
Was paid at Calvary

So, instead of trying to repay You
I’m learning to simply obey You
By giving up my life to You
For all that You’ve given to me

I ask you, “How many times will you pick me up
When I keep on letting you down?”
And each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound?
And You answer, “My child, I love you
And as long as you’re seeking My face
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace”
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace”

“Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise” – The Second Word

Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice
My open heart, I offer up my life
I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again

So I lift my eyes to you Lord
In your strength will I break through Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears
Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And by faith I will walk on Lord
Then I’ll see beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete…

So I lift my eyes to you Lord
In your strength will I break through Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears
Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And by faith I will walk on Lord
Then I’ll see beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in
I will be complete in
I will be complete in You

“Woman, behold, your son….Behold, your mother.” – The Third Word

God said, “It’s time…the world needs this boy,
to see thru His childlike eyes and live in wonder
But whom do I choose
to carry this new life
and all that is needed…the love and sacrifice
I know her name
I will show her the way.”

She will have a heart that beats with love
a love like no other for her sons and daughters
She will have a love that knows no end
that cannot be broken
No matter how far her child may go
Nothing can stand between love

Repeat Refrain until end

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” – The Fourth Word

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me

He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness, He’ll lead me
Rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade but His Word will still remain
And He will do something new today

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me

He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

Repeat Refrain until end

“I thirst.” – The Fifth Word

Drench my soul
As mercy and grace unfold
I hunger and thirst
I hunger and thirst

With arms stretched wide
I know You hear my cry
Speak to me now
Speak to me now

I surrender
I surrender
I wanna know You more
I wanna know You more

I surrender
I surrender
I wanna know You more
I wanna know You more

Like a rushing wind
Jesus breathe within
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me

Like a mighty storm
Stir within my soul
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me

Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me

I surrender
I surrender
I wanna know You more
I wanna know You more

I surrender
I surrender
I wanna know You more
I wanna know You more

“It is finished.” – The Sixth Word

Thank you for the cross, Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank you for this love, Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious

High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Repeat Refrain until end

“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” – The Seventh Word

Deep within my heart, I know You’ve won
I know You’ve overcome
And even in the dark, when I’m undone
I still believe it

I live by faith, and not by sight
Sometimes miracles take time

While I wait, I will worship
Lord, I’ll worship Your name
While I wait, I will trust You
Lord, I’ll trust You all the same

When I fall apart, You are my strength
Help me not forget
Seeing every scar, You make me whole
You’re my healer

I live by faith, and not by sight
Sometimes miracles take time
I live by faith, and not by sight
Sometimes miracles take time

While I wait, I will worship
Lord, I’ll worship Your name
While I wait, I will trust You
Lord, I’ll trust You all the same

You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain

Though I don’t understand it
I will worship with my pain
You are God, You are worthy
You are with me all the way

So while I wait, I will worship
Lord, I’ll worship Your name
Though I don’t have all the answers
Still I trust You all the same
