Tune: Love Unknown
('My song is love unknown')
Matthew 26 v.36-42
*********
Jesus took with Him, see
Unto Gethsemane
Peter, James, and John, He
Said, I sorrowful be
Exceedingly, very heavy
Deep emotion, distressingly
He said, Sit you here while
I go yonder, compile
My thoughts to pray, stay here
Take courage and not fear
But watch with me, a little way
He went and then these words did say
O my Father, if it
Possible, any whit
Let this cup pass from me
Suffering cup it be
Nevertheless not as I will
But as you will, my Father still
He to disciples came
They were asleep, the same
He said, Could you watch not
One hour? Or forgot
You to watch and pray, that you not
Fall weak into temptations lot
The spirit is indeed
Willing, on God does feed
But the flesh is weak so
May give up its prayer flow
Jesus said, Father, if this cup
Cannot pass from me, I it sup

What we feed we grow what we sleep we miss... or do we? There is something about compassion that is so easy to pass over and miss.
Thanks CB.
