Grieved, Jesus went to a garden to pray
He approached the Father about their plan
"Could there be another way?" Jesus beseeched
Sweat droplets of blood filled His shaky hands
But Jesus was resolved to do God's will
Even to the point of abuse and death
Because He came to serve and bring us good
For our salvation, He would give His breath
So Jesus was unjustly arrested
He allowed the mockery and beating
And staggered to the cross in agony
While our well-being He was seeking
The nails plunged into His hands and His feet
Then the suffering servant was raised high
Perhaps He thought on our sure redemption
Could this be a joy beheld in His eyes?
God surrendered His life to help His people
Though in His humility, there was more
He exalted His name above the earth
Jesus glorified, so we are restored
