Thy Will

Please, God, let this cup pass from me,

c'mon, let's find another way!

There's got to be a path You see

to let me 'scape that fatal day.

I really do enjoy My time

walking 'round this dusty place.

Would it really be a crime

to extend a little grace

so I can ride back out again,

leave behind this sense of doom,

leave behind the coming pain,

the drama of the Upper Room,

and with my buds have some more fun?

But, yeah, OK, Thy will be done.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is OWN. Can I own it?

Just how did the Lord God own

that His Son would have to die

on the Cross, feeling alone

without a chance to say Goodbye?

What could have been worth so much

for that awful sacrifice?

What on Earth had moved Him such

that He turned His heart to ice?

Do you know it, can you speak

to the reason for Christ's death?

Or are you afraid to seek

the answer; it may steal your breath?

But we must face it, for it's true:

the Cross bore Christ for me and you.

Three minutes and just under fifty seconds.
