I Stand Near You My Jesus

 I go near you my Jesus!

The night is cold and the

sky is darkened with the 

wind of silence.

I go near you my Jesus!

I glimpse at the sight of you

kneeling at a rock that holds

you up!

Your tear drops fall !

Do I dare interrupt you in

your setting?

I see you weeping My Lord!

Your shoulders seem stiffen.

And there is no peace around you!

I go near you my Jesus!

I'm scared to approach you but

I want to join in your suffering!

I bend down and gently place

my hand on your back.

Your agony in the garden is great

and your love pours out to the 

world!

Your tears flow down your face 

and lands purely on the large

rock!

I stand near you my Jesus!

O how I wish I could bring you

comfort!

Please don't cry my Jesus!

I will wipe your tears and

hold you forever!

I stand near you my Jesus!

You lift your head quietly up

towards heaven and speaking

to our heavenly Father!

In your soft breath you humbly

asked: 

"My Father, if it be possible,

let this cup pass from me;

nevertheless, not as I will,

but as you will" Matthew Ch:26

V-39

Your head falls to your knees

and your tears keep flowing!

I get a glimpse of your divine

face ever so breath taking!

I know I must go for I'm 

on the outside looking in!

My hands gently leave your

back and your tears of agony

remain!

As I leave you, in all of your

 divinity, I turn from 

your sight! For this is 

the moment with Your Father+

I take your agony in the garden

and place it in my heart and soul

Oh Lord!

I hear you saying "Go to others

in their agony in the garden

listen to them 

and stand by their side"

I humbly respond to you My Lord

I will stand near them O Lord+

Show me the way!

Lord, I will always keep you with me

in all of my test and trials.

I will give you Lord to others in 

anyway, I can!

I will hold on to you 

in all of my days

I stand near you my Jesus!

fitting for" I Stand Near You My Jesus"

After I wrote it and viewed the video for the 

second time, I noticed

the angel comforting Jesus in his agony, 

placing his hand upon Jesus' back.
