"A Beautiful Prayer"
Music & Lyrics: Luther G. Presley, 1937
In the Bible we read of a beautiful prayer,
A prayer sent to heaven above;
It was prayed by a heart that was laden with care
And filled with such wonderful love.
You can catch the sad tone of His voice as He said,
"Thy will not my own must be done;"
As a lamb to the slaughter He soon must be led
To die as the Crucified One.
As He prayed there alone in such deep agony,
It was a most beautiful prayer;
Just to think His great heart was all broken for me,
That He my great sorrow must share.
Chorus:
When the Savior was praying in the garden of Gethsemane,
Said, "loving Father, if you will let this cup pass from me;"
I know He was thinking of the anguish death would bring to His own,
How deep was His sorrow when Jesus was praying alone.
