My soul is sad, my heart is breaking tonight
Could you not watch and comfort me until light?
Am I alone, surrounded only by night?
Could you not watch one hour with me?
Could you not keep awake for one hour with me?
Is it so hard that you should do this for me?
I die for you, that you might always be free
Could you not watch one hour with me?
And so I weep and there is no-one to hear
I am in pain, will no-one witness my tears?
I am your God, and as my Passion draws near
Could you not watch one hour with me?

Thank you for sharing this, Jackie. When I am feeling "despised and rejected," I have to remind myself that the trials I have faced are nothing compared to what my Savior went through.
Blessings, dear sister.

Oh, also, it is so comforting to know that He understands our heartbreak, our loneliness, because He has been there too!

This is beautiful Jackie. 'Could you not watch one hour with me'...those words really put things into perspective for me. Thank you.

Jesus understands our loneliness because He went through it Himself. The betray, the denial everything.He suffered everything for our sake.
Thank you for the poem Jackie.
