And there is great compassion
When I hear the story when the brothers were asked, 

Can you drink the cup I'm about to drink and be baptized with the cross I'm 
about to bear....

And they respond, , I can,
But until christ has risen, it is not him, but his father to choose, 
So he gives us the gift of compassion, its compassion, to say I can , to want to 
bear the unbearable, for connection to the beloved,  to sit on your right hand, 
to be received into heaven.....
