Tears in the Garden

Not just our master’s
tears in the garden
all of us aware
of the grief that he bore

Feeling the weight
in the upper room before this
now in the garden
all of us falling to our knees

Even in our sleep
the nightmare coming
the true of his death
the sacrifice of our king

The words he had shared
ringing in my ears
the bread his body
and the cup of his blood

Now in the garden
his pain so audible
crying out to God
oh if it could end

But calm coming
his tears in the garden
giving over to resolve
to do the will of God
