The song from the Sixth Station of the cross in our Born for This presentation. This song is sung by Veronica as she wipes the face of Jesus.

LYRICS

What have they done to you, Lord?
What have they done to you, Lord?

Your gentle eyes – so lonely now
Crying, Lord – what have they done?
Your healing hands – so weary now
Bleeding hands – what have they done?

What have they done to you, Lord?
What have they done to you, Lord?

Your loving heart – so broken now
Sacred heart – what have they done?
The prophet’s voice is silent now
Unspoken pain – what have they done?

What have they done to you, Lord?
What have they done to you, Lord?

Your thoughtful brow – so bloodied now
This crown of thorns – what have they done?
The faithful crowds betray you now
Abandoned, Lord – what have they done?

What have they done to you, Lord?
What have they done to you, Lord?

Your word of truth – forgotten now
They will not hear – what have they done?
Each tired step uncertain now
Stumbling Lord – what have they done?

What have they done to you, Lord?
What have they done to you, Lord?
