Father If You Are Willing -Luke 22: 42
Jesus was used to being on His knees
for He took time to meet His father alone
despite being the son of God He needed prayer
to be with God since before eternity, He'd known
This occasion was to be unique indeed
His father had given Him a vital task
since the fall of man God always had this plan
to bring salvation to those He drew to ask
Here Jesus was faced with an awesome job
to take the cup of God's wrath no less
pleading with God for another pathway
but deep down knew it wouldn't be yes
So here Jesus was submitted to God's will
no matter the cost and pain He'd to bear
praying that He would remain submitted
dying for our sins defeating Satan's snare
Praise this Jesus for His perfect sacrifice
without it, we'd all be bound for hell
He our substitute for sins not His own
for His glory, we must go out and tell
('And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”)
Luke 22: 42 (ESV)
