Gethsemene


Lovely Lamb of God

Trembling in the garden

Beads of blood are rolling

From his hands clutching at His brow

Anguished are His silent sighs


The closest of his friends

Slumber near the garden

Could they not awaken

And keep watch with Him for an hour?

In the night alone he prays


In the night alone

In the night alone

In the night alone

He prays


The dread of this dark hour

His heart had tasted daily

But now a demon whispers

"Like a bird you can fly away

To the mountain fly away"


Then His troubled soul

Cries from Calvary's shadow

"Father if it's able then I ask

This cup to pass from me

But not my will, but thine be done"


Not my will but thine

Not my will but thine

Not my will but thine

Be done
