My Lord and Master



My Lord and Master
At Gethsemane He prayed
Urgent the hour
Rejoicing while others wept
In place of us He marched on
Christ our Lord and King
Expecting what awaited.

In service to God
Remembering the Promise
Victory at the Cross
In Him as our Savior
Nurtured by the Holy Spirit.

To God be the honor, glory, and praise.
