Weighed down
By our sin and suffering,
You sweated blood.
How did you persevere?
Knowing the evil within us,
You still loved us.
Having mercy,
You forgave.
You healed.
Confronting evil,
You were crucified.
Freely laying down your life,
You took it up again.
Savior of the world,
Save us!
Jesus my redeemer,
Healer of all wounds,
Strength amidst our weakness,
Defense against our doom.
Breath that brings refreshment,
Song that calms the soul,
Heart that brings forgiveness,
Words that make us whole.
Teaching us Your wisdom,
Holy Spirit’s gift —
Sacrificed all for us,
From hell our souls does lift.
Victor over evil,
Vanquished Satan’s power,
Present in our suffering,
In our darkest hour.
Evil has no power
When you present are.
Help us to remember
Your presence every hour.
