Even the darkness
Even the darkness
Even the darkness
I repeat to myself in the darkness
I scream to myself in the darkness
I breathe to myself in the darkness
In the garden
Was it not darkness to you
In the garden
When your sweat and blood mixed with the dirt
And your body weary, strained, crying
Knowing what was coming next
Were you afraid when you asked your Father to take it away
When you pleaded if there's any other way
Knowing there was none
Did you love him so much it hurt
Was it physical, emotional, spiritual, mental–
The excruciating pain
The thought of being separated, torn apart,
Despised, buried, suffocating, abandoned
By your friends as you chose to die eternally for them
Was it dark to you then?
It is dark to me sometimes
I see redemption coming
But, here, it is dark
Psalm 139:12
