Setting out upon a journey
A journey I joyfully embrace
A Lenten pathway before me
Adorned with love and grace
Forty days in the desert
Our Lord began His ministry
He fasted from all food
Tempted, yet sinless, is He
Wondrous gift, lovely path
Thank You, Lord, that I may tread
Pondering Your precious heart
Which for me generously bled
Humbled, falling to my knees
I marvel my Savior’s love
To die for me and my sins
Is why He left His throne Above
Worthy I am not
Of Your love sublime and sweet
I crave Your wondrous Wine
Your Word I long to eat
Man lives not on bread alone
But on the Almighty’s every word
Nourishing, renewing the soul
Precious truths, told and heard
Lord, please take my hand
Lead me wherever Thou desire
You are the joy of my spirit
You are in my heart a burning fire
Little I have to offer You
Nothing worthy of love You give
Take me, all of me, my Lord
My life is not mine, but Yours, to live
Precious Savior, Lamb of God
You loved me while I was still blind
To fathom the power of Your love
Transcends all thought of mind
So, in this Lenten journey
I vow to give all of myself to You
To be completely Yours, Master
Is to live life abundantly and true
On the Via Dolorosa
Lead me, beloved Lord, to see
How they treated You, my Master
On the way to Calvary
On the hill Golgotha
At the Cross may I stand
Weeping for You, sweet Lord
Pierced feet and pierced hand
At the Holy Sepulchre
The stone moved may I see
Resurrection triumphing over death
My Lord is Risen, to Him all Glory!
Lenten journey lovely
Pathway of contemplation
Lord, how much You suffered
That I may know salvation
Wondrous gift, lovely path
Thank You, Lord, that I may tread
Pondering Your precious heart
Which for me generously bled
In this Lenten journey and always
I vow to give all of myself to You
To be completely Yours, Lord Jesus
Is to live life abundantly and true
