The Journey Has Begun
Their eyes were heavy and they had to sleep
for they were unable their watch to keep.
Jesus had walked further along the way
to find some solitude, wanting to pray
'Father, if it is possible, ' said He
'Will You please take this cup away from me? '
'But if not, then You know that I will do
'all that is needed and will obey You.'
Then He began to sweat great drops of blood
in anguish of soul before His God.
Three times Jesus prayed the very same way
and three times His disciples sleepy lay.
As the early morning sun woke the day
His betrayer Judas, was on his way.
The journey to Calvary had begun
for God the Father's obedient Son.
