The Passion

Alone in the garden to His Father He prayed,
His disciples asleep under the trees where they laid.
My Father in heaven take this cup from Me,
But not as I will it, let your will be done through Me.
The soldiers approach, His disciples in fear,
Peter draws his sword and severs ones ear.
Jesus surrenders without a fight,
As He’s taken away in the dark of the night.
As the cock crows, Peter begins to cry,
Told by Jesus three times He would deny.
Convicted and accused of blasphemy,
Pilate is pressured and gives a decree.
In a courtyard filled with a crowd,
They cursed at Him so load.
Pilate is seated upon his throne,
Jesus stands there all alone.
A murderer is spared and set free,
The carpenters make a cross from a tree.
His flesh was beaten from His bones,
Shocked by the immense pain He moans.
A crown of thorns thrust on His head,
His precious blood dripping,
He was almost dead.
Pilate washed his hands of the whole affair,
Our Lord knew fully His time was near.
So He took up His cross with our sins how it weighed,
Each step He took to His father He prayed.
Falling three times He suffered with pain,
Please My Father in heaven let this not be in vein.
On the cross He was thrown, His eyes looked up to heaven,
He felt so alone with this cross He was given.
Nailed and lifted His eyes looked down,
For His garments the lots rolled across the ground.
His mother’s heart broken and tears in her eyes,
The dark clouds gather above in the sky.
Father forgive them for they know not what they do,
His head fell limp and his mission was through.
Lightning, thunder and rain from the sky,
There was no doubt now for our sin’s He had died.
God our Father’s love is so great for everyone,
That He gave us Himself as He gave us His Son.

God’s Servant,
Anthony

Life is a flicker it resembles a flame,

Always moving in different directions,

Our lives never stay the same,

Lifted up when things are going our way

Quickly falling when we falter and stray,

Shining brightly and strong with no fear,

Then looses its strength from lives wind shears,

Darkness may come and envelope the light,

Then with a glimmer of hope it reignites,

It feeds on love as a flame feeds on air,

When neither is around they both disappear,

Some have the staying power to last,

In a moments time they are a thing of the past,

Life is a soul filled with peace and love,

Illuminating all people; for the Lord above.

My child, I am here,
Worry not, have no fear,
It’s ok, if you cry,
It’s ok, if you ask, why?
In time, you will see,
Be strong, lean on Me,
I will always be here,
I will conquer all of your fear,
I will wipe the tears from your eyes,
I will answer when you ask, why?
My unconditional love,
True love that comes from above,
I give it unconditionally,
To those who lean on Me,
My child, it is I,
Right here by your side,
My child, have no fear,
I will carry the cross you bear,
In time, you will see,
Be strong, lean on Me,
My unconditional love,
True love that comes from above,
I give it unconditionally,
To those who lean on me,
I promise to always be here,
I will wipe away all of your tears,
Lean on me, and have no fear,
I will carry the cross that you bear,
Have faith, lean on Me, I am here,
Forever I will love you, My child,
Have no fear!
