Going to the cross despite struggle

Faithful to God’s call
through the pain, the knowledge
knowing full well what would come
walking the journey with him
hearing the cries of Jesus
his bitter knowledge poison
a foretaste of the bitterness
the anguish of the cross
yet going to the cross despite struggle
the humanness of Jesus
the purity of his walk
choosing to be the servant
