God sent an angel

  I often go to Gethsemane

To watch with You awhile

And I try to bring some comfort,

That is soothing for Your soul...

The horror of what You’ll go through 

 Sends shivers down my spine- 

So I retreat to the land of reality, 

In my own space and time… 

 For the terror is so real to me, 

The anguish, pain and dread 

Of betrayal and crucifixion 

 With thorns rammed on Your head...

 

 To think You knew it all along 

From words of prophecy-

 The wonder of Your saving love 

Is the greatest miracle to me…

 

 Each time I’m in that garden, 

I’m too afraid to stay- 

No wonder God sent an angel, 

To strengthen You that day.
