Whispers of His Power – JUNE 27
Luke 22.42: Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done.
Bathed round about by moonlit air,
Beneath the olive tree,
Our Saviour knelt alone in prayer;
Sore spent was He.
And solemn through the moonlit air
The prayer of prayers arose;
But what it cost to pray that prayer
No mortal knows.
Only our hearts within us know
When they most broken be,
To that same garden we must go –
Gethsemane.
And only one prayer meets our need,
We learn to pray it there;
The prayer of all true prayers the seed,
Our Saviour’s prayer.
oooOOOooo
