Thy Will Be Done
Surrendered Echoes: Embracing Divine Will through Struggles
Lyrics
Thy will be done, the Saviour said
Expressing the acceptance of God's will as stated by the Saviour (Jesus).
And bowed to earth his sacred head
Depicting a humble gesture of bowing down to the earth in submission.
The sands of life had nearly run
Indicating that the time of one's life is almost over, suggesting a sense of completion or nearing the end.
My Father, let thy will be done
A prayer to God, asking for His will to be accomplished.
Thy will, not mine, be done
Reiterating the surrender to God's will, emphasizing personal submission.
No watch his spent disciples kept
Describing the disciples' lack of vigilance during a critical moment.
Amid the shadows deep they slept
Highlighting the disciples' deep sleep amidst challenging circumstances.
But silent angels waiting there
Referencing unseen angels who witnessed the intense prayer and agony of Jesus.
Beheld his agony of prayer
Observing Jesus' distressful prayer experience.
Thy will, not mine, be done
Repeated emphasis on yielding to God's will rather than personal desires.
His soul foresaw the cruel scorns
Foreseeing the hardships and mockery Jesus would endure.
The brutal scourge, the crown of thorns
Mentioning the physical suffering, symbolized by the cruel scourge and the crown of thorns.
And, darker than Gethsemane
Referring to the ominous atmosphere of Gethsemane, a place associated with Jesus' anguish.
The shadows of th' accursed tree
Portraying the looming darkness and despair associated with the crucifixion.
Thy will, not mine, be done
Reiterating the acceptance of God's will over personal wishes.
What though he felt in that dread hour
Acknowledging the emotional turmoil Jesus felt during that critical hour.
The storms of human passions low'r
Facing the storms of human passions without avoiding pain or death.
Nor pain, nor death, his soul would shun
Expressing readiness to endure suffering and death in alignment with God's will.
My Father, let thy will be done
A prayer requesting God to fulfill His will.
Thy will, not mine, be done
Final emphasis on yielding personal desires to God's will.
