Gethsemane

by Lewis E. Thomas  
10/08/2012 / Poetry

Gethsemane is where Jesus and His disciples often went to pray
It was the spot Judas chose when Jesus he decided to betray.

Gethsemane was a place that all of Heaven watched from above
Gethsemane is where Christ was betrayed by one whom He loved.

At Gethsemane the sin of all who would ever live or die
Where dumped overwhelmingly upon Jesus as He prayed and cried.

Gethsemane is where our Lord prayed for the living and the dead
Gethsemane is where Jesus prayed until His sweat became red.

Gethsemane should be precious to you on that path you trod
That was the place where Jesus called out your name to God.

Gethsemane was the place where our Lord's sweat turned to blood
At Gethsemane He saw His crucifixion and felt the hammer's thud.

Gethsemane is where our Lord prepared himself to die
At Gethsemane Jesus began to drink the Bitter Cup for you and I.

When we think about Gethsemane it should make us cry
Because it was because of us that the Lord had to die.

Gethsemane is where our souls hung in the balance you see
As Jesus prayed "Father if it be possible let this cup pass from me!"

Gethsemane should be valued more than all the world's gold
Gethsemane is where Jesus wrestled with Sin for our souls.
