GETHSEMANE (REVISED)

Troubles of the world!

The hour had come and the tears begun
For the reason he came he stood his ground and did not run,
God himself in the flesh, broken hearted facing death
Quintessence was the Almighty for humanity, he had no regret
 
Like drops of blood was his sweat for our expiation
This he chose without hesitation to save us from damnation,
What did Jesus see through his tear filled eyes?
As he called unto his Father with pangs that made him cry
 
For one who did no wrong whose heart had no avarice
O! Wanton hearts! Do we comprehend his penitential sacrifice?
One so mighty his miracles so great, even on water he peregrinates
All this he did to save us from hell and Hades gate
 
With a crown of thorns and leather striking his back
He carried his cross to face the cost, to save us from the dark,
On Golgotha's cross hung God's precious and loving son
Eloi, Eloi, this he cried, the price is paid and now it is done
 
Our crimson stains can be washed at the Cross
And there will be no more remorse
Jesus carries all of our burdens
There is no need to feel downtrodden…

Even in our sleep, pain for which we cannot forget falls drop by drop unto the heart, and in our despair, and against our will, comes wisdom through the awesome grace of God
