Few Places are as Sacred

Few places are as sacred
As that grove of olive trees
So touching was the prayer said
To the Father... filled with pleas

In Gethsemane's garden
One descended all alone
In the depths of agony
Christ knelt down to atone

Moving slowly, falling forward
He cried, "Take this cup from me
Nevertheless not what I will
All things are possible unto Thee"

It is a surpassing wonder
That a single being could satisfy
The infinite and eternal demand
Of justice that redeems you and I

Every human failing and misdeed
Every heartache, sorrow, and loss
Every mortal infirmity
Christ felt in full of each of us

This compassionate foundation
Is central to God's plan
Is essential for salvation
And eternal happiness for man

In the garden, is it any wonder
That those who pass are reverent here
For He partook all that we not suffer
In awe, His Spirit is still felt near
