Lean on me Jesus
Kristina Joy Nelson

Lean on me Jesus

Jesus, I fuse myself in Your Most Holy Divine Will.
I come to remain with You in the Garden of Gethsemane.

The night is still in Gethsemane,
Beneath the ancient olive trees.
You kneel upon the cold, dark ground,
While sorrow brings You to Your knees.

I come to kneel beside You, Jesus,
To share the anguish of Your Heart.
I gather every act of love
And offer them to our Father

Your chosen friends are overcome,
Their weary eyes have fallen closed.
You turn to find them fast asleep,
While all Your agony unfolds.

I come to watch and pray beside You,
To keep You company tonight.
For every soul who leaves You lonely,
I place Mary’s love into Your heart.

Lean on me, my Jesus, lean,
Let me share Your agony.
In Your Holy Will I come
To bear Your sorrow with You.

Lean on me, my Jesus, lean,
Let me never leave Your side.
Take my heart and make it Yours,
That I may suffer with You.

Before the scourge has touched Your flesh,
Before the thorns have pierced Your brow,
You feel the weight of every sin,
And all the pain that lies ahead.

I enter into all Your sufferings,
And take Your sorrow as my own.
Together we present them to the Father,
For every soul throughout all time.

The sins of every generation
Rise before Your sacred eyes.
You see the souls who will reject You,
And all the love they will deny.

I gather all the love of Heaven
And bring it to Your grieving Heart.
For every soul who turns away,
Where love has left You all alone.

Lean on me, my Jesus, lean,
Let me share Your agony.
In Your Holy Will I come
To bear Your sorrow with You.

Lean on me, my Jesus, lean,
Let me never leave Your side.
Take my heart and make it Yours,
That I may suffer with You.

Eternal Love pierced Your marrow,
Reaching the depths of Your very being.
Each act of love that went unanswered
Became another death of pain.

I take the flames within Your Heart,
And carry them to every soul.
As wildfire races through the fields,
May Your Love sweep across the world.

Your sacred blood falls to the earth,
As You surrender to the Father.
An angel comes to strengthen You
Within this hour of deepest sorrow.

I join my prayer to Yours, O Jesus,
And offer all Your pain with You.
May every soul receive Your mercy,
May every heart say yes to You.

As You go to meet Judas,
I go together with You.
As he places his kiss upon Your face,
I cover You with kisses too.

Not to betray, but to console You,
With the adoration of all angels and saints,
And the infinite love of the Father and Holy Spirit.
