I don't know if this is an original prayer or existing - I couldn't find the
words on the web. It was used at the Good Friday open air service in the
Abingdon Market Square that I just attended. I thought it was very
powerful. (Bold typeface indicated responses).

God our Father, today in remembrance and awe,
  we tread the holy ground of Calvary
this place of abandonment,
  that has become the scene of our adoration;
this place of suffering,
  that has become the scene of our peace,
this place of violence,
  that has become the battlefield on which love is victorious.
Father as we re-live the events of this day,
it is with awe that we count the cost of our salvation.
Words cannot be found to utter our thanksgiving.
Accept our silent adoration in Jesus' Name.  Amen
