1- With my sweet Lord I walk on the day
He was judged and put to death
To Golgotha plodding a weary way,
Burdened with my sins' heavy weight.
R- Holy is my Lord who was crucified,
Holy who was silent when tried,
Holy who was mocked and denied,
Holy is He who willingly died.
2- Can I, with Simon, proceed to bear
The heavy cross after He fell?
My sins are heavy enough to flare
His deep wounds caused by the scourge.
3- For me He prayed deep in the garden,
For me He asked His Holy Father:
"I love them as You have loved Me."
"I desire that they be with Me."
4- For me You accepted disdain;
For me You endured all the pain;
For me You were counted a sinner;
For me You were named an evildoer.
5- My Christ led as a lamb to the slaughter
He opened not His mouth to crucifiers.
The serpent's temptation seduced me,
I crucified You with my iniquity.
6- Was "despised and rejected by men",
As Isaiah the prophet said.
He surely "has borne our grieves."
The Lord has laid on Him our sins.
7- "We all like sheep have gone astray,
We have turned every one to his own way";
We need Your redemption of our guilt,
Grant us eternal life O, Lord.
