No Corruption: The Gethsemane Victory

No Corruption: The Gethsemane Victory



A single word sustained me

When all seemed lost and dark

When slings and arrows

Hateful priests

Had found their precious mark.



I knew it all was coming

The prophecy so clear

‘Messiah bleeds and

Dies in shame

To bring redemption near.’



And friends had missed my struggle

In anguished prayer and dread.

They slept while Satan

Tempted me

To doubt life from the dead.



But Father you had promised

Much joy at your right hand

And death’s corruption

Foiled in this

The rescue we had planned.



I knew it at the darkest

Your Word would live in me

And soon an empty

Tomb proclaimed

Eternal life for free.



PSALM 16: 10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
