*The Opening Song By His Wounds

He was pierced for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our sins,

The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him.

And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed.

He was pierced for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our sins,

The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him.

And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed.

Chorus

We are healed by your sacrifice,

In the life that You gave.

We are healed for you paid the price,

By your grace we are saved. We are saved.

He was pierced for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our sins,

The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him.

And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed.

Chorus

He was pierced for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our sins,

The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him.

And by His wounds, by His wounds we are HEALED.

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

The Service of Tenebrae

The First Word: Forgiveness Luke 23:26-34 Bert Barber

26And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who

was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it be-

hind Jesus. 27And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of

women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28But turning to them

Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for

yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, the days are coming when

they will say, „Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and

the breasts that never nursed!‟ 30Then they will begin to say to the moun-

tains, „Fall on us,‟ and to the hills, „Cover us.‟ 31For if they do these things

when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death

with him. 33And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there

they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

And they cast lots to divide his garments.

The Second Word: Salvation Luke 23:35-43 Cheryl Barber

35And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, say-

ing, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his

Chosen One!” 36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him

sour wine 37and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”

39One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are

you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40But the other rebuked him,

saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of

condemnation? 41And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due re-

ward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42And he said,

“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43And he said

to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

The Hymn Worthy Is the Lamb

Thank You for the cross, Lord.

Thank You for the price You paid.

Bearing all my sin and shame

In love You came

And gave amazing grace.

Thank You for this love, Lord.

Thank You for the nail-pierced hands.

Washed me in Your cleansing flow,

Now all I know,

Your forgiveness and embrace.

Chorus:

Worthy is the Lamb, seated on the throne,

Crown You now with many crowns!

You reign victorious, high and lifted up,

Jesus, Son of God, sent from heaven, crucified.

Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb

(Repeat from the top)

The Third Word: Compassion John 19:25-27 Fred Gordon

25But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother‟s

sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus saw his

mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his

mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27Then he said to the disciple,

“Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own

home.

The Fourth Word: Anguish Matthew 27:45-46 Maggie Gordon

45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until

the ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud

voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why

have you forsaken me?”

The Hymn How Deep the Father’s Love

How deep the Father’s love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That he should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss.

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon the cross,

My sin upon His shoulders.

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers.

It was his love that held Him there

Until it was accomplished;

His dying breath has brought me life.

I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything:

No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom.

But I will boast in Jesus Christ:

His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer.

But this I know with all my heart:

His wounds have paid my ransom.

But this I know with all my heart:

His wounds have paid my ransom.

The Fifth Word: Suffering John 19:28 Kevin Nobles

28After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the

Scripture), “I thirst.”

The Sixth Word: Victory John 19:29-30 Melissa Noel

29A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the

sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30When Jesus had

received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head

and gave up his spirit.

The Hymn Above All

Above all powers, above all kings,

Above all nature and all created things;

Above all wisdom and all the ways of man,

You were here before the world began.

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones,

Above all wonders the world has ever known;

Above all wealth and treasures of the earth,

There's no way to measure what You're worth.

Chorus

Crucified, laid behind a stone;

You lived to die, rejected and alone;

Like a rose trampled on the ground,

You took the fall and thought of me above all.

Repeat from the top

The Seventh Word: Contentment Luke 23:44-46 Bob Guest

44It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the

whole land until the ninth hour, 45while the sun‟s light failed. And the cur-

tain of the temple was torn in two. 46Then Jesus, calling out with a loud

voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said

this he breathed his last.

*The Hymn At the Cross

Oh Lord You've searched me;

You know my way.

Even when I fail You,

I know You love me.

Your holy presence

Surrounding me

In ev - ery season.

I know You love me.

I know You love me.

Chorus:

At the cross I bow my knee;

Where Your blood was shed for me.

There's no greater love than this.

You have overcome the grave,

Your glory fills the highest place.

What can separate me now!

You go before me;

You shield my way;

Your hand upholds me.

I know You love me.

Chorus

(Bridge)

You tore the veil, You made a way

When You said that It is done!

You tore the veil, You made a way

When You said that It is done!

And when the earth fades;

Falls from my eyes,

And You stand be - fore me,

I know You love me.

I know You love me.
