You Knew the Day was Coming

The sun was setting,

The Last Supper was over.

You headed for the garden,

Seeking strength through prayer.

You knew the day was coming,

It was filled with pain and torture.

What was it like to live 

each moment knowing for sure?

The task so difficult blood came from your pores.

The sun would rise it is unstoppable.

You asked for deliverance, but

Knew through Him all things are possible

Oh, how You know my pain and suffering.

Though it cannot compare to your last day.

You understand and walk with me

For we knew the coming of this day.

I spent time in prayer with You,

Preparing for the possibility

Just as the sun rises, this day has come

I accept it with complete humility.

I held it off as long as I could

With hope in my heart I could handle the job.

You taught me the lessons to reassure

I was not giving up or quitting on my mom.

My heart is sad and heavy

Her heart is filled with hate and veiled

Will You help me hold on to hope,

The day will come when forgiveness prevails?
