Praying in that Garden – v2

Christ’s faith being tested

trusting in God;

sweat falling heavy

like blood splattering

falling on the ground.

Christ, the disciples sleeping,

praying in that garden

that the cup may pass by Him

that He may live

another day.

Struggling, in anguish,

fighting off temptation

to run from the cup before Him;

Christ remaining faithful to His path,

submitting to the Father’s will.
