(John 10:14-15 NLT)
As I listen to the many reports of the coronavirus pandemic, my heart grieves. I believe Jesus, also, sees, and he calls us to pray with him. Let us be faithful in intercession. It is an act of love.
The following song flowed from my heart as I spent time with Jesus this week.
Jesus took three friends to the Garden with him He wanted them to support him in prayer What did they do? They closed their eyes Closed their eyes and fell asleep Closed their eyes and fell asleep Closed their eyes and fell asleep Jesus took three friends to the Garden with him. He wanted them to support him in prayer. What did they do? They left him alone. Left him alone to pray and weep Left him alone to pray and weep Left him alone to pray and weep Jesus knelt alone in a separate place He wept so hard his sweat was blood Why did he weep? Because of love Love for his Father and love for his sheep Love for his Father and love for his sheep Love for his Father and love for his sheep Jesus looks, today, for some friends who will pray They feel the pain of the struggling sheep What will they do? They will stay awake. Stay awake to pray and weep Stay awake to pray and weep Stay awake to pray and weep Jesus looks, today, for some friends who will pray They feel the pain of the struggling sheep Why will they weep? Because of love Love for their Father and love for his sheep Love for their Father and love for his sheep Love for their Father and love for his sheep 4/7/20 Jane Ault

Thank you, Debbie. May God bless you and your family with peace and health, as you celebrate what Jesus has done in the special season.
Thank you Jane! It was so good to hear you share your song on Friday as we joined for the Good Friday service. God’s creative heart is so evident! May the Hope of the Risen Christ fill your hearts !
I am so glad we can join one another, even if it is from a distance, in celebration of our Lord’s victory. Thank you for your words of encouragement, Donna.
Lovely, Thank-you Jane. Being in isolation is turning out to be a beautiful way to focus on the true meaning of the Easter message. A closer walk with Him…
You are welcome, Deborah. Yes, this isolation time is a great opportunity to grow closer to Jesus and appreciate the Easter message. Peace and blessings, as you meditate on the true meaning of Easter.
Very beautiful! I wish I could hear you sing it!!
Thank you, Maureen. You can listen to me singing it at the New Hope Community Church in Potsdam website, as it’s recorded for the service there at 7 tonight.
