Staggering
Their cheers have turned
to mocking
Their palms have turned to stone
Hosannas turn to mourning
For a King without a throne
The rocks alone cry out with joy
To pave that cobbled street
Becoming hallowed ground
Each stone that bears its Maker’s feet
Staggering, stumbling down that dusty road
Behold the Word Incarnate
The Son of God made Man
Whose power knows no limit
Yet now can barely stand
Who can comprehend the depths
Of love’s great mystery?
With each determined step
He bears His cross to Calvary
Staggering, stumbling
down that dusty road
His eyes pierce through
the ages
And plead with you and me
To share His yoke of suffering
Like Simon of Cyrene
For all who claim to be His own
Must prove their love in deeds
Deny yourself, take up your cross
And follow where He leads
Staggering, stumbling
down that dusty road

STORY BEHIND THIS SONG...
My goal with this CD was to provide a
musical resource for Lent. Contemplation of our Lord's wounds
is a wonderful way to stir our hearts to love. I pray these
simple songs for Lent will help listeners come to a deeper
appreciation for our Lord's Passion.
