The Pain Was Striking and Intense

The pain was striking and intense
As Christ bore all our sins
With love as an offering
He was crushed in suffering

His agony, underscored,
Not one sorrow was ignored
He sweat blood from every pore
As He taught us what love's for

He heard cries of the innocent
With hands clenched, His heart wrenched
Then in frightful moments fought
All of Satan's darkest thoughts

His disciples lent no support
In sleep, they'd not watchkeep
He was tried and proved our Lord
Let's not weary, we're His sheep

A prayer engaged and delicate
Fleets to the advocate-
Our needs, He discriminates
And with God, He mediates

How can we not remember prayer?
All our pains, He can bear
He knows what we are in need of
As He sends forth love from above

Through His grace comes tender mercy,
Which proves He is discerning
