In the Garden of Gethsemane

1. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus PRAYED for you and me.  Falling down upon His knees, God devoutly heard His loving pleas. With a few disciples near, He soon began to faint and fear.

2. Anticipating certain death, He labored with each weary breath.  Suffering He would have to die while those He loved would wonder why.  Sweating even drops of blood, FEAR consumed Him as a flood.  His disciples were asleep, while His concern grew ever deep.

3. They awoke at His command.  Their hour to pray was now at hand.  Because we seldom might REFLECT, we should try hard not to neglect, what took place that lonely day when Jesus prayed our fears away.

4. He placed upon His cross our cares, and to this day our sorrow bears.  Desiring that we lean on Him, He took away our every sin.  Giving us fullness of LIFE, His love dispels our doubt and strife.  Go to Him and meditate, His blessings and your wondrous fate!

5. Ask Him to RENEW your heart.  The time is now that you should start.  In the suffering of that hour ponder His almighty power in how Jesus bid Satan flee, that night within Gethsemane!
