FOR THIS PURPOSE I CAME TO THIS HOUR
(A Communion Poem)
“The hour” was a phrase Jesus used to speak of His death;
Few understood God’s plan of salvation and its breadth.
As “the hour” drew nearer, His soul was a little troubled;
But He knew that He must be strong and not stumble.
Swiftly, He prayed to His Father and recalled His Plan;
He had been sent to redeem erring, sinful Man!
“The Hour” of His death would not be easy to bear;
He must find strength from God in humble prayer.
His purpose was to bring great glory to His Father’s Name;
He will not flinch nor falter, for that would bring shame!
The prayer was heard and the Father spoke to His Son;
His name will be glorified when the Victory is won!
Assured, Jesus spoke of how He would die on the Cross;
He found renewed strength for His death was not a Loss!
Those who find faith in Him will come to full appreciation;
He must embrace “the hour” that we may have salvation!
