This is a co written piece by Liam Mc Daid and angeline lin In fourteen syllables.to represent the stations of the cross Fourteen lines each step Then fourteen stations the holy trinity Hence in four rows of three the name of the cross Finishing with two when he was taken down as a sign of bowing one's head down in our shame
Condemned king to death by Pirate, scourged and crowned with thorns
Flesh torn in payment for our sins, Jesus took up His cross
Falling for the first time drained by weight upon his shoulders
Surrounded by hate, his mother's presence lighted his face
Footsteps began faltering Simon helps carry his cross
Veronica wiped man's cruelty from our Saviour's face
Falling a second time his strength failed dwindling to the ground
Kind women weep not for for me but yourself and children's sake
He fell a third time dragged then prodded to move forward
Stripped of his garments my merciless executioners
Nailed unto a cross hands and feet until his cruel end
He commended his soul to the Father's love then breathed his last
Taken down placed onto our blessed mother's loving arms
His body wrapped and anointed with spices placed in the tomb
