My Savior

He knelt and prayed all alone in the garden,

Suffering and carrying each one of our burdens.

So much pain and anguish He felt that day

But His love for us pushed Him as He prayed.

As I think of each blood drop He shed for me

The sorrow, the pain as He knelt on His knees.

I am so overcome with love and hope

For He is my harness, my lifeline, my rope.

I think of how then He was betrayed by a friend,

The hurt, the disappointment could have no end.

He was persecuted and then hung on the cross.

How could they not see what a great loss?

But it was our Heavenly Father’s grand plan

To bring salvation and eternal life to all man.

As our Savior’s mortal life was about to end

He asked for forgiveness for all that offend.

So much mercy and love as death He did greet.

Then He rose from the tomb to make it complete.

Showing each one of us the ultimate love,

Eternal life with our Father in Heaven above.

I am grateful for the great opportunity

To be with my family for all eternity.

It was all because of our Savior’s sacrifice

So much love He had that He paid the price.

Without my Savior, I would be a lost cause,

With all of my imperfections and flaws.

But I know that because of the price He did pay.

I can seek forgiveness as I kneel and pray.

As long as I am sincere and repent

My love is wiped clean without a dent.

I will try my best and endure to the end.

I will be with my Savior, my Brother, my Friend.
