The darkest hour,
They came with lanterns
Seeking the man called "the Christ."
Judas stepped forward,
Welcomed the Savior,
Betraying the Lord with a kiss.
A man seized the Lord.
Peter rushed forward,
Severing the man from his ear.
Jesus then turned to
The man and healed him,
Then to Peter to calmly instruct,
"This is the cup that
My Father has given.
I drink it, for this is His will.
There is no time to
Be moved into violence;
It's always the moment to heal.
Move in each hour
To give God the glory
And love even your enemies, still."
