NOW MY SOUL IS TROUBLED
The soul may be deeply troubled at the thought of suffering;
Unbearable pain can make the soul afraid of fully obeying.
Jesus felt this for He had put on flesh to identify with Man;
He must seek grace and strength to fulfil the Divine Plan.
The soul that is wise will turn to God the Father in prayer;
When one cries out in humility, he will find the Lord there.
Jesus cried out to His Father concerning His Death;
On the cross, He would be taking His last breath!
In prayer, Jesus sought to focus on glorifying God’s name;
To fail at this juncture would bring the greatest shame.
He had been prepared to fulfil God’s Divine purpose;
He will not flinch no matter if His soul would be averse.
Swiftly the Father responded with deep and gentle Love;
He will glorify His beloved Son, sent from Heaven above!
His suffering of pain and death would not be in vain;
It would bring salvation to Man and glory to His name.
