In a panoramic view
I saw the Lord's ministry
His baptism His teaching
All that caused marveling
Then my eyes of understanding
Were opened to behold
His love, overwhelmed me
As He washed each foot He held
He prayed for the disciples
Called out from the world
He pled for those which also
Would believe through their word
I saw the Mount of Olives
And in the garden where
He took upon Himself all burdens
I witnessed great drops of blood fall there
He suffered such agony
A burden no human could bear
For in that hour of anguish
He had to overcome Satan there
He suffered that we might not
If we will repent in heart and spirit
Again and again my soul was taught
the betrayal
the mock trial
the scourging
His struggling
The stretching
The nails driven into flesh
The crucifixion
And excruciating death
That through His merits, mercy and grace
Immortality is freely given
But, as all will see God face to face
It will be those who walked with Him
That will be prepared for that embrace
Eternal- to a place of love, and joy and rest
The Sacrament and the Sacrifice by Elder David B. Haight Oct General Conference 1989
