NOW MY SOUL IS TROUBLED

The soul may be deeply troubled at the thought of suffering;

Unbearable pain can make the soul afraid of fully obeying.

Jesus felt this for He had put on flesh to identify with Man;

He must seek grace and strength to fulfil the Divine Plan.

 

The soul that is wise will turn to God the Father in prayer;

When one cries out in humility, he will find the Lord there.

Jesus cried out to His Father concerning His Death;

On the cross, He would be taking His last breath!

 

In prayer, Jesus sought to focus on glorifying God’s name;

To fail at this juncture would bring the greatest shame.

He had been prepared to fulfil God’s Divine purpose;

He will not flinch no matter if His soul would be averse.

 

Swiftly the Father responded with deep and gentle Love;

He will glorify His beloved Son, sent from Heaven above!

His suffering of pain and death would not be in vain;

It would bring salvation to Man and glory to His name.
