Salvation in His Decision - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Even after, but especially in that moment
Christ alone in the garden
though they were near to him
he was alone before almighty God

On his knees
sweat coming like blood
falling to the ground

There in the garden
his fears before God
humbly, a servant come
asking for another path for his life
but submitting to the master’s will

Salvation in his decision
to remain faithful
walking the narrow way
following where God
called him to go
drinking the cup of suffering
