Because of Sin

[78 words]

Our Lord arrived at the Garden 
with darkness in full array, 
He poured out His heart to the Father, 
as He fell on His face to pray.
He was carrying a heavy burden, 
And from it He must not run. 
With love He promised faithfully
not My will, but Yours be done.
The cup of the cross was bitter, 
yet He drank it to the end. 
Why did our Lord endure it?
He did it because of sin.
