Station 6
Glory to you, O Christ:
by your death you have destroyed death
and by your resurrection you have brought life and immortality to light
Jesus appears to Thomas the Twin a week later
The one who needed proof
1 I am he, I’m the doubter,
the one wanting proof
Of what they had told me
I need truth foolproof.
2 I can not believe it,
I cannot conceive,
How Jesus of Nazareth
Dead! Oh how I grieve.
3 Until I see clearly
The marks in his side
Where cruel armed soldiers
Made sure he had died.
4 Unless I can touch him
The scared wounds to press
With my hands; what anger
I feel, nothing less.
5 “Oh Thomas my peace know,
Come, here is my side
Reach out, come and touch me
Don’t doubt nor truth hide.
6 Believe now through seeing
Bless those who abide
Who haven’t yet seen me
Without sight to guide.”
7 “My Lord and my Master,
My God” I replied
His peace fills my being
All doubts thrown aside.”
Risen Lord, though you reveal yourself in the lives others, we long for you to reveal yourself just as truly to us, that we too may share the good news of your living presence.
Alleluia. Christ is risen
He is risen indeed. Alleluia
