Choices

In the garden of Gethsemane
The ultimate choice was made
Father not My will but Thine be done
Was what the Saviour prayed

He could have chosen to walk away
And to turn His Back on man
The debt we owed was too great a price
That only He could understand

A search was made in Heaven
Only He could answer the call
He chose to be the Sacrifice
And to die for one and all

Life is full of choices
So choose this day and live
Choose to follow Jesus
With all you have to give

A search was made in heaven. Were there other volunteers?
