For Jesus: Stations of the Cross in Poem Prayer













THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS IN POEM PRAYER

This devotion consists in making a short meditation on the passion of our Lord at each station.  You can walk from station to station as space allows.

Forgive me Lord for all my sins.  Let me follow you so I could amend my life.  The small sacrifices in our life’s journey are nothing compared to your love for me and for us all. With thy sorrowful mother and my guardian angel draw my heart and all those who have entrusted me for prayers, to you, O Lord Jesus Christ.

Station 1: Jesus is condemned to death. 

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

You were betrayed Jesus
Even by trusted friends 
Still shows us charity 
Life for us you mend

Your power brings to serve 
People you call your own 
Condemned to death, for us 
A Father’s promise sown 


One Our Father.  One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.



Station 2: Jesus bears his cross.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.


Cross, you bear means love
Almighty’s gift to the world
Jesus, brother, keeper
To journey with us, Lord

You became man
Mercy for humanity
Sky and earth unite
Miracle flowing sanctity

On Our Father. One Hail Mary

Jesus on the Cross, by your love heal us.


Station 3: Jesus falls the first time.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

Lord, let us hold you
Lord, let us rise with you
Power in humility
Shows us to be true

No man is perfect
Only God - is
Lord Jesus, as example
If fallen, hold to peace 


One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.



Station 4: Jesus meets his mother.
We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.



What grief for a mother
What grief for a child
What grief for a beloved
Alone in sorrow, Jesus guides 

Feel us Jesus
In sorrow and isolation
But God’s will is best
Have mercy in temptation

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.



Station 5: Jesus is helped by Simon.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.


Simon of Cyrene, hail to God
Courage and cross you lifted
Bridge to us from heaven 
Angel signs we’re gifted

And so we come in prayer
Flesh, thoughts, and our hearts
Your holy cross dear Jesus
To us don’t ever part.
One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 6: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.


Saint, Oh Saint Veronica 
Ring bells to God’s workers 
Crown of thorns on Holy face
Hope and bliss, His blood carves

O, poor Face we love you
Face of beauty, Face of light
In suffering and brokenness
Sacred Face of might

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 7: Jesus falls a second time.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.


My Lord! My God! My Savior! 
We trust our lives in Thee
You know how weak we all are
We beg, we beg, we plea

My Lord! My God! 
Be here to servants frail
Hold me, hold us
O’er wind we fly, on sea we sail

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 8: Jesus speaks to the women.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

You longed your parents, too
The crowd, are us, your family
How precious all to you

Speak to us, we long for Thee
The bravest soldier frees
From sin and wars
Your words a bomb and keys

One Our Father. One Hail Mary

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 9: Jesus falls a third time.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.


Race and blows
The third’s the final count
Your sacrifice, a painful lash
Forgive our sins abound

Hold tight hold, dear Jesus
Please - do not let go
These eyes are full of tears
Wash us white as snow

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 10: Jesus is stripped of his garments.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

When all is done for love
So fair and pure the nakedness 
And all that Christ gave
T’ was peace for all and happiness

Strip all, be all
We ask You for nothing
Let You alone fill us
Christ, O Christ be our everything! 


One Our Father. One Hail Mary

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 11: Jesus is nailed to the cross.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.



Nails piercing us 
First pierced on you
Nations already won
Sacred Cross on earth anew

Man and tides pushing rocks
When life cries in pain 
Trials come harrowing
Lord let Your Kingdom reign.

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


How You loved us, Jesus; How great, You are God’s Son
How You loved us, Jesus; How great, You are God’s Son: 

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do
Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise
Woman, this is your son. And this is your mother
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 
I thirst
It is finished.”

Then, Jesus cried out in a loud voice
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 12: Jesus dies on the cross.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

Life today we pray
Us - forever with you Jesus
With Almighty Father lay

Let us see Thy face
Forgive us in transgressions
A Holy Cross wins grace

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.


Station 13: Jesus is taken from the cross.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

Priests on temples pray
Breath of Holy Spirit blows
Forever brothers all we stay

Body whole and pure
No evil can defeat
The triumph of the cross
For holy workers banquet


One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.




Station 14: Jesus is laid in the tomb.

We adore you O Christ, and we bless thee
Because by thy holy cross, thou hast redeemed the world.


Love never fails; never ends
The Holy Bible writes
Wake us up dear Jesus
At dawn, resurrect flight

We adore you O Christ
Have mercy -
Your holy cross be salvation
Hearts with Thee forever, have mercy. 

One Our Father. One Hail Mary
Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

We love you.
I love you.
Glory be (3x)
