Mother of Sorrows

September Song of Praise EXCEPT the 7th which is the Song of Simeon
09 MOTHER OF SORROWS Mother of sorrows, you know our tears; Comfort us in our need. Mother of Hope, pray for us, Now and at the hour of our death.
1. Your Son's life was in danger as a newborn babe. But you fled to Egypt. His life was saved.
2. Lost in the temple, your Son was hid. You searched for three days until he was revealed.
3. Your spouse Joseph, chosen of God, was chaste, loyal, and true. His death brought tears and loss to you.
4. Your Son was the innocent and spotless Lamb Guilty and condemned to death at Pilate's hand.
5. Via Dolorosa, the sorrowful and saddest way, Is where you met your Son on that mournful day.
6. The pounding of the nails into your Son's feet and hands Was the sword of sorrow that you'd never planned.
7. Jesus died upon the cross as you mourned. His life of love, by them was scorned.
8. His lifeless body was placed in the stone-cold tomb She laid him there, the child of her womb
