Poem for Today

Alone in the Garden
Alone in the garden He prayed
That there might be another way;
Alone in the garden He stayed
In obedience. All He could say,
‘Father, not My will, but Yours,
Whatever You want I will do:
Wherever You ask Me to go,
I’ll go in obedience to You.’


Alone in the garden He knew
The sorrow that lay ahead;
Alone in the garden so true
To the thoughts in His heart and His head.
An angel appeared from heaven
To give strength to His resolve;
To help Him, in His agony,
The Father’s will to solve.
