This week’s meditative song by Sister Jayne is called “Abba, Father.” May we not turn away, but stay with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane in his torment.

Abba, Father
( Jayne Erickson, OSB)

Abba, Abba, Father hear my cry.
Abba, Father, must I really die?

If Thou art willing, remove this cup from me.
If Thou art willing, Father, please.
I know all things are possible with Thee.
Yet, not my will, but Thy will be done.

Abba, Abba, Father hear my cry.
Abba, Father, must I really die?

Here in the garden I come to You alone.
I come to You on bended knee.
In agony, I pray You’ll take this cup from me.
Yet, not my will, but Thy will be done.

Abba, Abba, Father hear my cry.
Abba, Father, must I really die?
