Opening Song: Man of Sorrows by Drew and Ellie HolcombLyrics:Lord You’re weeping with me help me to believeThat when my heart is heavy as a stoneYou say I’m not aloneMan of sorrows what a nameBore our suffering bore all of our painMan of sorrows broken sinners to reclaimOvercame the darkness and walked out of the grave(Overcame my darknessWhen You walked out of the grave)Lord You’re aching with me help me to believeThat when my soul is lost in the stormYou’re acquainted with my griefHe was pierced for our transgressionsHe was crushed for all our sinsAnd the punishment that brought us peaceWas laid on HimHe was stricken and afflictedBut God’s mercy would revealWhat His suffering would bring usBy His wounds we’re healedPassage: 8 On that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the Lord, going before them. 9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.Him Whom They Have Pierced10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.(Zech Musical Reflection: O Sacred Head Now Wounded by Hans Leo HasslerReflection Notes: This tune by Hassler is most famously set with the text “O Sacred, Now Wounded;” the most common harmonization was popularized by J.S. Bach in his St. Matthew Passion. It conveys the pathos of Christ’s death with deep sincerity. Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer
