to empty my will – v3

in the garden with Jesus

drawn to the rock

to the place where God knelt

the place where Christ poured out his heart

to empty my will, completely,

as Jesus chose to do

to submit my life to God

in prayer to the Father

to turn my path over

to the Father as Christ did that night

so is our prayer, my hope,

my prayer in this season

brought back to the garden, Gethsemane,

with Jesus on that night.
