Words by Mary Rose Jensen
In
As
He prayed to the Father, “May Your will be done,”
Caused
great drops of blood to appear on His head,
For
He knew the next day He would surely be dead.
But
His sorrow was greatest because He would pay
To
redeem all His people who would not obey.
The
sins of the world on this innocent One
Soon
would make God the Father abandon His Son.
O
how great was the suffering our Lord chose to bear,
Which He saw as He struggled alone in His prayer.
Though
ten thousand angels could rescue the Son,
He
accepted the cup for the joy that would come.
