ON THE WAY TO CALVARY Leader: Crosses of palm, fashioned by the faithful in faraway places, unite us in our devotion of Jesus of Nazareth, and focus our gaze on the King, the Lamb, the Son of God. All: On the way to Calvary and victory, palms were waved - honor given the coming King. Leader: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. All: On the way to Calvary and victory, palms were waved - response to One who came to suffer so. Leader: He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account. All: On the way to Calvary and victory, palms were waved - prelude to the cross and death. Leader: Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All: On the way to Calvary and victory, we take up our crosses, and watch this One, who takes the deathward journey in our stead. Leader: On the way to Calvary, we take our places - to watch in silence, to wait in humble expectation as he rides now to death and to life eternal - one King, one Lord, one Death - for all!
