Gethsemane

Help me father I need your help I am left here alone I am frightened and so far from home. Peace be with you, peace be with me Help me father can you not set me free.

I am alone here in Gethsemane this beautiful garden where I have often rested. They are coming for me soon father and I shall be arrested. What can I say father what must I do I am so frightened and scared please may I have a word from you.

Can you not take this bitter cup away from me. I do not want to be whipped and crucified, I do not want to be questioned and disbelieved. OH! Father I am scared help me pleased or would that make you too aggrieved.

OH! father they will drag me through the streets they will laugh at me they will all deny me. Father are you there have you denied me , speak father I do not hear you give me sign you are there father let me see.

I am so tired father I have done all you have asked of me. I sat and broke bread with them and told them the message that they have to spread. They will have to do it now in my name as I will be dead. I hear them coming any second that Judas will give me a kiss OH! Please father let me give it all a miss.

Oh! okay I finally understand the holy dove is here to hold my hand . I shall do my part I shall do my best. I shall full fill every part of your request. Thy will be done thy will be mine I shall do my best father I shall shine.

Just stay with me father stay with me please I am so scared I am weak at the knees …OH! no here comes Peter he will try to stand up for me I do not want him mixed up in this bit with me.

Okay I am ready I think I can stand thank you father for sending the dove to be at my right hand.

You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth ………….. I am he.

OH! what have I done it is irreversible it cannot be undone.

Thirty pieces of silver I tried  to return it they would not take would not take it I can’t unmake it.

OH! this empty feeling in my soul it is dragging me down and eating me whole.

OH! OH! what have I done. Have I betrayed he who has come to save man…… thirty pieces of silver is that all you were worth you the son of he who made the earth.

This pain in my heart is too hard to bear it hurts it hurts why did I do it what on earth lead me   there .

Thirty pieces of silver what have I done. I can no longer face anyone I cannot longer show my face I have fallen too far from grace. I am not worthy to feel the sun on my skin OH! why oh! why did I betray him he was so like a brother OH! why him and not another.

Thirty pieces of silver why oh why thirty pieces of silver I scream  at the sky  . No answer is there no answer this pains me too much I must die.

Thirty pieces of silver is that all you are worth he who had a virgin birth. OH brother Jesus you are worth more than this how low am I who betrayed you with a kiss.
