He Went A Little Farther

HE WENT A LITTLE FARTHER "He led them down the pathway to the garden, knowing life would never be the same! For though Gethsemane was now so peaceful, none of them would leave the way they came... and as the three disciples knelt in silence, for the Master had commanded, "Watch and pray!" They watched Him slip away into the shadows, for His Father's perfect will He must obey! And He went a little farther, And He prayed a little harder! Oh, what heartache on His way to Calvary! And though He could have kept from going, What a thrill there is in knowing... That He went a little farther for me! Now, once again, in battle Lord, I've fallen. I try so hard to always do what's right... but it seems this world is filled with so much darkness! It would be so easy just to quit the fight! Oh, but then I see You kneeling in that garden and hear You praying, "Father, not my will, but Thine!" Lord, just to think You went that far for my salvation! Well, it gives me the strength to get up one more time! And He went a little farther, And He prayed a little harder! Oh, what heartache on His way to Calvary! And though He could have kept from going, What a thrill there is in knowing... That He went a little farther for me!" Thanks to @lisapirkle5472 for this request!
