Kept By a Song

Matthew says that after Jesus and His disciples
shared their last supper together,
they sang a hymn.

In spite of knowing what was ahead, He sang.

I wonder if the memory
of the melodic male music
helped keep His sanity
as He travailed in the garden.

I wonder if He heard the echoes
over the cries of "Crucify Him, Crucify Him!"

I wonder if He heard them singing
when the nails went in.

If He could sing even though He knew
what was about to happen,
then I can sing too.

I don't know what's ahead,
but He does,
and He still sings.
