Recommendations on the 7 last words of Christ from the Cross?

Hi everybody,
Since it's Palm Sunday that starts the Holy Week and meditation on the Passion of Christ, I thought to post a question:
Any good Logos recommendations on the "Ultima Septem Verba" (final seven words) of Christ?
I've been pondering on these, since I just finished a new song or a hymn on this topic. (The link to my song is in my signature below, hope you enjoy!).
Peaceful and joyful Holy Week and Easter, everybody!

Unfortunately, Timothy Radcliffe Theology Collection (6 vols.) - Verbum which contains his excellent Seven Last Words is not yet in production. IIRC he preached these in the Seattle Cathedral (St. James) ... a major event.
Of those actually available, I would have to go with Cross-Shattered Christ: Meditations on the Seven Last Words - Verbum (Stanley Hauerwas) with honorable mention to The Seven Last Words of Christ Faithlife Ebooks Bonaventure and Witness at the Cross: A Beginner's Guide to Holy Friday Faithlife Ebooks (Amy-Jill Levine)
Thanks for sharing your music.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Bonaventure, a great medieval name! I respect Hauerwas as a modern theologian. Amy-Jill Levine I've become acquainted with in her Feminist Companion -series on the different books of the New Testament (as paperback, not on Logos).
Also, thanks to you, Paul Caneparo, the other Paul and NB.Mick! Great suggestions! Keep em' coming!
