Poem#9 Pressed
Luke 22:39-71
Looking around the table what most think is just another Passover meal
Until Jesus pulls out the unexpected Seat reserved for the Holy of Holiest
Everything before this and after just went over their heads, until now
Those rich in History passed down Generations the stories told of Moses
Of blood on the doorpost, & now clearly the Great I Am sat before Them
Whom they’ve only known as Jesus who Looks deep inside All of us
Unfortunately the deepest of revelations can be broken by thoughts
Roots of pride deep within the heart no matter the good of intentions
Will breakthrough the surface loyalty broken by a single Word Betrayal
Jesus knows this of us All we’re easily distracted as He sees through
Even after Speaking His Word not even the Twelve Disciples kept it in
Light bulb moments burnout without the continued wick of the Spirit
While Jesus prayed in the Garden the Disciples slept as if in a Dream
Words of Jesus being Pressed into the echoes of minds the importance
The Holy of Oils the Seed of Genesis 3:15 that’s about to take place
While the Mob came to take Jesus away, the Disciples scattered
Peter taking a Sword to a gun fight, Jesus showed us compassion
Even when Moments get heated, we lose it Jesus gives Compassion
The hard reality that’s about to take place scripture being fulfilled
After reading it in Isaiah now happening before the eyes that See
Jesus Pressed onto the Cross to free us from Sin to Press into Him
