After supper with his disciples <br />Jesus went out alone to pray <br />And in the garden spoke to his Father <br />The Lord God Almighty. <br /> <br />In deep anguish he prayed <br />And sweat on his brow was blood <br />For he knew torture and death awaited him <br />When Judas betrayed him with a kiss. <br /> <br />He did not ask his Father <br />For an army of angles to save him <br />But for the strength to give himself <br />As the sacrificial lamb for the sins of Man.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sacrificial-lamb-4/
