GETHSEMANE TEARS
"To a more peaceful and loving world"
The hour had come and the tears begun
For the reason He came He stood His ground and did not run,
God himself in the flesh, broken hearted facing death
Quintessence was the Almighty for humanity, He had no regret
Like drops of blood was His sweat for our expiation
This He chose without hesitation to save us from damnation,
What did Jesus see through His tear filled eyes?
As He called unto His Father with pangs that made Him cry
For one who did no wrong whose heart had no avarice
O! Wanton hearts! Do we comprehend His penitential sacrifice?
One so mighty His miracles so great, even on water He peregrinates
All this He did to save us from hell and Hades gate
With a crown of thorns and leather striking His back
He carried His cross to face the cost, to save us from the dark,
On Golgotha's cross hung God's precious and loving Son
Eloi, Eloi, this He cried, the price is paid and now it is done...

Author's Comments:
"No greater love is there than to lay down one's life for another." [JESUS CHRIST] Labor to help others and strive to encourage them. The Lord laid down His life so we can rise again. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Those that are truly forgiven are anxious not to offend again - this is possession of "Justification."
