Will I?

Will I?

A prayer in the garden

by Joel Howard

Like Christ led to death

I sit in my garden

dripping blood's sweat

"Is there another way,

Father?" do I pray

Father, do I pray

Will I be accused wrongfully?

Will they beat me wrongfully?

Will I have faith to stand?

Rejected by my friends

I sit in my garden

Comfort me again

Daddy! Have your way

Daddy, do I pray

Will I be murdered for being who I am?

Will I be drowned by their lying hands?

Will there be justice, O God?

I feel pain

O the pain!

I feel anguish

Is there another way?

I feel shame

O the shame!

But shame's been vanquished!

Comfort me today
