Our lives changed
in falling in the waters
in dying to ourselves
rising on wings like eagles
to do our master’s work
But joining Christ in the
Garden
if we are to be God’s
servants
working in the field
that there would be
a harvest for the Lord
Falling on our knees
humbly, in prayer
approaching the throne of
grace
like Christ submitting our
lives
to God’s holy plan
Offering ourselves as a
sacrifice
following the way of the
cross
emptying our lives of
ourselves
going forth to serve
proclaiming the way of the
Christ

“Joining Christ in the Garden”
reading bio blurb for
Wanda J. Nichols on Facebook
&
earlier poem
------------
Gethsemane
In this place, in
the garden
prayers after the
meal, into the night
prayers to the
father, his plan revealed
Human fear, a
foretaste of pain
Choosing the
destiny the prophets foretold.
