A Stone’s Throw Beyond Them - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Christ alone in his agony
alone, awake in the garden
just a stone’s throw beyond them
but a world away in cares

The weight of the decision
the master plan of God
his life for all humanity
drinking the cup of suffering

Sacrificing himself
humble as a servant
giving himself over to God
that we may see his face
