What would you do if you stood in the garden

And saw the soldiers coming for your leader and your King?

Would you run away and hide

Or stand there by His side

Would you see the hand of God in all these things?

What would you do if you stood by the fire

And saw your leader beaten, alone but not afraid?

Would you turn away your face

See it as a great disgrace?

Or know its for our healing He has paid.

What would you do if you stood underneath the cross

And saw your Saviour dying, and the land so tempest tossed?

Remain there to the end

And try to be a friend?

And understand the greatness of the cost?

What will you do when you see your Saviour coming?

In the clouds and in the glory of His great angelic throng?

Are you ready for the chiding?

The teaching and the guiding?

Telling all that happened was the great Eternal's song.
