Out of Gethsemane

We had ears to hear, but did not comprehend --- We had eyes to see, but did not understand --- Our Lord told us all about what was prophesied to be --- That He would be betrayed, arrested and killed for us to see --- Even Peter challenged our Rabbi and claimed this could not be -- Jesus rebuked him and then pronounced, Satan get behind me --- At our last passover meal, we celebrated in a different way --- The Christ gave us wine and broke bread, then told Judas to earn his pay --- In the garden we fell asleep, Jesus woke us three times that night --- On the final time He woke us, armed guards came into our sight --- After a brief skirmish, they led our Lord out of Gethsemane --- Then we scattered in all directions, as our Master said it would be.
