Listening to my human side

The thoughts perhaps within Jesus
the divine and the mortal
my human side wants to be saved
to pull back from the precipice
not to drink from this cup;
but, no, I came for this
for this very reason,
to be the sacrifice
to give myself up unto God
climbing the rugged cross
my purpose, why I emptied myself
for this I came to the earth
