There Was No One

"...He was there alone..." Matthew 24:23

On a dark Judean night
Jesus sat by fire's light.
Friends were sleeping,
Most were home
Now Jesus sat, all alone.
No one cared to feel His pain.
No one cared to ease the strain.
There was no one to cradle Jesus.
He sat silently, within
His heart He cried,
"For you My friends, I will die.
I surrender My all that you may live.
Eternal life shall be Mine to give".
Alone, but not despaired
Jesus knew the Father cared,
Of His heartache and His pain;
The world's loss and heaven's gain.
He raised His tear filled eyes,
Toward the dark Judean sky;
There He found the strength forHis soul.
