My Kind of Gethsemane
Behold!
What I have discovered?
Dancing by the sound of tambourine
And the seven - stringed lyre
Out of sheer sorrow in the cold
My loved one had sold me for silver
NOT gold.
*
Oh how I need you, my Lord!
You are my only hope,
You are my only prayer.
So I will wait for you to come to my relief
For the darkness suppresses me,
Come and give me life,
Get me out of grief!
*
I lift my eyes up, up to the mountains,
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from you,
In my prayer now I see...
That your Love is Gold for me,
Maker of Heaven,
Creator of the Earth!
NB = Whenever you begin to act out of hostility rather than love, paranoia rather than trust, despair rather than hope, just stop! Say a prayer in your need and you shall be glad you did.
