Kendyl, sorry for the wait for posting. I’m glad the poem blessed you, and I pray God’s blessings for your move to Texas!

I was studying Exodus which prompted me to search ‘night of watching’ because it reminded me of Jesus asking his disciples to keep watch…and then this poem appeared in my search. I live in Canada and have been praying on moving to Texas. I saw you are from Arlington, Texas. My phone also spontaneous started playing Hillsong’s, New Wine as I read the line about Gethsemane. I take it to mean that God used my Bible study/this poem/the song to guide me in my next move- that the Promised Land for me is not Canada, but Texas and he plans to bring new wine out of me just as he did for the Israelites and anyone who keeps watch. Thank you.

Pray that every night of our lives will be a “Night of Watching” till we meet our Hebrew Lord Jesus.

The poem was excellent leaving us a picture of what it must have been like the night Yeshua was in the Garden of Gethsemane!

Stan, glad you were blessed by this poem. Please feel free to share it. The author of the poem is Cynthia Prentice — she should get the credit. The phrase “Leil Shimurim” means “Night of Watching” in Hebrew.

Beautiful yet powerful, tangible yet wondrous. Thank you. I would like to use it in our good Friday service if you don’t mind. Of course it will be only right to cite you as the author.
