Not My Will...

(I really do not like to look at images like this but sometimes it is good to realize the raw horror of what He suffered because of His love for you and I)

Jesus, if You, in humble anguish could forgiveness repeat

As nails where pounded violently

Through Your Hands and Feet

Jesus, if You, God’s guiltless perfect Son

Could cry without a selfish thought

‘Not My will, but Thine be done’

…then Jesus, surely as we approach

And bow before Thee on Thy throne

Ah, surely we can trust Thee as we plead

‘Not my will, but Thine be done
